The Canadian Baseball League

 

Summer is here, and it is just a darned shame there is no Canadian Professional Baseball League. Contrary to popular belief, the game is as old and as ingrained in the land in Canada as in the US. The first documented game of baseball was in Beachville, Ontario in 1838. Labatt Park, in London Ontario, is the world’s oldest baseball stadium.

It is a cultural failure that we have allowed the game to decline north of the US border.

Going to a baseball game is a really great cultural experience in a country like Korea or Japan. It could be in Canada too.
