a little more baseball info:

Chris Robinson of Ancestors in the Attic TV show on the History Channel has just notified Alt-London that Labatt Park in London, Ontario, CANADA is now listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's Oldest Baseball Diamond/ Field, in operation since 1877 when it opened at the Forks of the Thames River as Tecumseh Park.

Previously, this distinction was held by Fuller Field of Clinton, Massachusetts (as of August 2007 until now), which dated back to 1878.
