On June 1, 2024, I attended the unveiling of the plaque for the Sunnyside Stadium Softball by Heritage Toronto. It’s here where girls and women played softball from 1924 to 1956. The stands were often packed with 5,000 spectators; the cost of admission was ten cents. These young women were truly in a “league of their own”!

I was delighted that the organizers included a display about Bobbie Rosenfeld, Canada’s female athlete of the half-century, and that Bobbie is mentioned on the plaque!

The Boulevard Club is now on the site of the Sunnyside Stadium, but a lot of people still have fond memories of their family members playing there, or of even  playing there themselves.
