Well put together video. Jay Littleton was my grandfather and your video made me tear up a bit. Going to share with the family. Thanks for making this!

Jerry, thank you for always documenting and researching so much of our city's history. This was truly such a loss. Such a historical landmark. So many of us have played little league here and have lived our whole lives always seeing it. Please keep us posted on the investigation or any info as it comes. Thank you again.

Great video Jerry. What a sad, sad historic loss. I umpired a few games there in the late 80' s early 90's. Great memories.

Thank you Jerry! You are so appreciated. I played Ontario Colt League and Ontario American Legion. 1981 - 1984. Know as John Galvin Park then.

I went there more than sixty five years ago. It seemed old then. Did the Sportsman's Club go up too? Scout Troop 1 used to meet there. Sponsored by the Ontario Rotary Club.

So sad to see this.

I played ball for the Onterio Indians back in my day…so many great memories I had my first tryouts in this field sad day 💯

[@luisridez9219]

At least the field is still ok

[@calescapee9642]

That completely sucks. I remember that field well.

I've lived in northwest Ontario for 20 years and never heard of this historic site until this morning. Unfortunate that I will now never get to visit it and experience the history. I hope the arsonist is caught.....and this is one of the best videos you've put together in a very long time.

If you guys see a new Housing Development in the next 2 years. You will know who set the fire. Same thing with Those military bunkers that burned down last year near Santa Ana/Anaheim

Making way for a smart park

[@apartmentinvestingrealty]

OMGOSH! 😱 So sad 😞

[@danw2112]

Will they rebuild the building and stands?

[@luisridez9219]

They should. But being Ontario they'll probably just put up a new warehouse

[@ShadowPitt]

Dang I remember when x files filmed a scene there

[@jesusgarcia-hk5jx]

New apartments are coming soon.
