  The baseball diamond has the same dimensions as Labatt Park in London, namely: 330 feet down the left- and right-field lines and 402 feet to the centre-field fence.

Mr. Aldridge, the trainer-coach with the legendary 1948 London Majors, the 1951-1952 Lou Ball Juniors, the 1970 London TV Cable Fastball Team and the 1975 London Majors has been inducted into the London Sports Hall of Fame as a member of all four inducted teams.
