  1. Wow! I didn’t know Maple Leaf Stadium was built then. I guess prior to this the baseball field where Babe Ruth hit his first home run was at Hanson’s Point on the island.

    • It was built in 1926 and primarily used as a baseball stadium and served as the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, a minor league baseball team. There have been multiple iterations of Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto throughout history. The original stadium was demolished in 1968, and a new stadium called “Exhibition Stadium” was built on the same site. Exhibition Stadium served as the home of the Toronto Blue Jays, a Major League Baseball team, from 1977 to 1989. The current home of the Toronto Blue Jays is Rogers Centre, formerly known as SkyDome, which opened in 1989.
