The park has also hosted professional teams, including the London Tigers, a Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, who played there from 1989 to 1993. These teams brought a higher level of competition and helped cultivate a lasting baseball culture in the city.Several notable players have graced the field at Labatt Memorial Park, including former MLB pitcher Fergie Jenkins, a Canadian Hall of Famer, who appeared in exhibition games during his career. The park has also been a venue for international competitions, such as hosting teams from the Baseball World Cup and other prestigious tournaments.Labatt Memorial Park stands as a testament to the enduring love of baseball in Canada, blending history, tradition, and community pride into a unique and timeless baseball experience.Unused 4" x 6" continental size chrome postcard.
