-Spent a lot of time at this Ball Park with some great parents and Kids from the Glen.
-Hey there, I am sure you coached my son, Kyle, one year way back in about 1973 or so. We lived at 48 Confederation St. and could see the park from our house.
-Suzanne how old was he then and who else was on his team
-He would have been about 6 - can't remember who else was on the team. He only played one year, I think and then we moved. He's 50 now. LOL You were quite young , if I remember correctly!
-Played there with the Glen Oldtimers
-You coached me Jim Glass .
-Yes Chris you and your Brothers and Mom & Dad I have a-lot of Great Memories it was Great Times in the Glen and I married a Girl from the Glen Lol Always great Memories.
-Your assistant coach was Jim? You guys were fun to play for! Your Wife had just about the only House in the Glen that had baseballs bouncing of it from Soupy Campbell and Bill Sykes. Lol
-Yes how true lol
-Played ball there in 1955.😳
-Hornby vs. The Glen. Fun rivalry
-Yes a lot of rivalry.
-I think you and I played against each other way back when. Scot Brush.
-that would be in 1955
-Born 63. Played Hornby 69-82ish
-Was born in 63 also. You played Catcher and 3rd base I think.
-Donnie Picket was your thrower.
-Correct. Mostly caught. Played fastball till i was 50. Retired now
-Good for you. I stopped at 35. Arm gave out. Still love Fastball but so hard to find nowadays.
-I live in Burlington now. Thats a fun fastball league here.
I remember facing Kipper and Gimpel. Hornby Glen was an awesome rivalry.
Pickett was our thrower. Yes
-Gimpel one year. Kipper the next. I think Pickett was our age so we saw him every year. I seem to remember you having a great sense of humour. I played a couple years of men's fastball with Ross McClure and his brother Glenn.
-Yes
Ross was a great friend for many years. Unfortunately he died about 6 years ago
-Yes I remember. Very sad. He was a good guy. You guys also had a teammate that was hit by a car in PeeWee? I think it was. I remember it was such a reality check for me at such a young age.
-Ernie Gillis was his name. No shortage of tragedy growing up. My best friend Glen Brown (centre field) killed in motorbike accident Dec 4 1980
-Wow! Count our blessings. Ernie had curly dark hair and was pretty entertaining as I recall. I kind of remember Glen Brown I think. He had reddish hair?
-.... cheered on The Glen Men's team in the seventies...."no hits, no runs, no errors, no walks given up"......
-Yes a lot of great Ladies,Mens and other teams played there and a Great Ball Game announcer Earl RED Cuthbert
-Thanks Jim...I knew someone would remember his name for me
-Watched The Glen Girls ball team many times..
-Mrs Haines sitting behind the backstop cheering on all her boys.
-Mrs. Haines daughter Joy was a good player also.
-Joy had a nephew who was quite a ball player back in the day by the name of Jeff Haines ,he is John Haines *s son ...
-Jeff & Terry both great pictures
-PITCHERS LOL
- Jeff hates it but didn't he play for the California Cuties?
-THAT was not the first ball park WHEN i first played ball the GLEN ball park was at the other end of the GLEN [left side of road just before the first bridge]I think it was HAINSES field
-Your right Bud that's where I played ball
-Bud Hayes was pretty dam good umpire as well. He also loved his baseball as much as anyone.
-Both Bud & Bernie Dore were good umpires
-Bernie was a good Ump as well. I haven't heard that name in quite a while
-Correct Bud if you were coming from terra cotta
-Remember Earl Cuthbert calling the games from the booth😊

-Played Ball for many of years in the Glen ⚾️
-Spent alot of time at this park and Fairgrounds while my dad and Uncle Gerry Perkins were umpiring, especially during tournaments.. fun days
-Many fond memories playing there with the Norval Mets, coached by Ike Ingles.
-I remember Earl Cuthbert's voice calling out all the plays. I could see the lights of the ball park flooding into my bedroom window on those warm summer evenings. That was always comforting to me. :-)
-I spent many days and evenings in that park. I would beg my dad to go down early to watch the men warm up hoping to be asked to be bat boy for the game. Loved it when Jack and the Jesters? Came to town and the California cuties!
-Jeff Haines played for one of those teams for a short while. I think it was the california cuties..
-WE EVEN HAD EDDY FANTER [?] i was one of a few who got a hit off him [still have the ball]
-I have some of the paper work when he came up and played with us King and his Court I believe they were called lol
-Seems to me the two other that came with him almost missed there flight home as they were out with the boys after lol
-I heard that too. Lol.
I remember watching Eddie strike guys out from 2nd Base. And he was past his prime then. Man could that guy throw the ball. I still have a King and his Court T-Shirt somewhere. I can understand still having that ball Bud Hayes. Pretty amazing accomplishment!
-It's really to bad I miss going down playing or Even watching fast ball ( windmill ) what ever happened to it it couldn't have died off everywhere??
-YEARS ago he was in inglewood [ in his prime ]they said his curve ball from 2nd base would travel 8to 10 feet WOWSO WOWSO
-Starts the pitch behind you. Ends the pitch on the back outside line of the other batters box. But the batter and the plate Umpire didn't know cause they were running for cover. 😂
-All my life I heard the story of how dad got a hit off of Eddie.. so when they came to town a few years back, I told him we were going. They had a draw to bat against him.. out of the 3 tickets drawn I won 2 of them, of course I sent dad up there and yeah he got a hit.. and the second ticket went to Andy..he got a hit as well.. was a great day..
-I remember that day and yes they other two guys ended up at the bar lol and almost missed there flight lol
-Brought them to town as a fund raiser for the Glen Ball Teams. Did everything online with Charlie Dobbin
-"Bring your car down off the hill" one of the most heard calls over the PA system at the Park!!!
-How True lol
-Can remember JACK & THE JESTERS also

-and The King and his Court!!!!
-JOE i remember that to what an arm he had
-you keep pressing my memory buttons...fantastic..I love it..played baseball here with Mike Harrington and Bobby Cuthbert I remember Red the coach I think he was a Cuthbert too...great times
-Mike , Red Cuthbert was Bobby Cuthberts father ....
-Played ball for the Glen in mid to late seventies. Many fond memories the fondest of which was us playing "the old timers" probably in 1978. Loved when the concession there was a going concern and not just somewhere to shelter from the rain as it is now.
