Run the Bases of a Demolished Baseball Stadium in Toronto!
There are plaques in a parking lot marking the location of the bases in Toronto’s now demolished Exhibition Stadium, the original home of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team. Come check them out and also get a brief history of the stadium.

Thanks for making this video, I was there in '77 for the opening game and I still have my ticket stub tucked away in an old photo album. Next time I'm in the area I'll definately run the bases!

My pleasure!
My first Jays game, bleacher seats were $4. Saw many bands there too.

My dad took us a few times, I wanna say twice? and we'd sit at the far end right field bleachers, lol man what a disaster that place was. My only real memory of going there was when my dad would take off for an inning to go find the potato chip vendor cause they wouldn't really make it up there just to bring me a snack.

Technically, it was not a good baseball stadium. But it was a lot of fun to see a game there.
I didn't know this existed.

It was a long time before I knew of this too, and I’ve walk by or over them many times.

Same here.😊
Honouring the city's American baseball team and ignoring the Canadian football team that played there much longer is so modern Toronto.

They actually have a granite bench to commemorate the Argos. I’ll have to do a video on those next time.

@@sirbobloblaws That's a silly argument. So do all the American based teams that play in Canada's National Hockey League (because that's what it was when it was founded in 1917) not count?
