WoW! This place is now a family park and we always talking about the Royals! What a nice memory! Thank you!

Montreal has an amazing baseball history that unfortunately we are slowly loosing. This shows that baseball as a place in our city and our heart and can work in Montreal.

Maurice, this is amazing footage. You found this in an estate sale? How did you figure it was 1928? As a member of the Quebec chapter of the Society of American Baseball Researchers (sabrquebec.org), I can say we'd like to help in identifying date/players.

Magnifique! Ce n'est pas Field of Dreams (Le champ de rêves) parce que le terrain est boueux au printemps, mais c'est quand même émouvant à regarder.

I didn't know Montreal had baseball teams going back that far. I could look it up but I wonder if they were a minor league team owned by a Major League club?

Hello☺ The Montréal Royals were the Dodgers affiliate 2A, then 3A team for a good part of the 20th century. Jackie Robinson even played for them!
