Christie Pits, Toronto. Toronto Maple Leafs at home in the Intercounty Baseball League, a sandlot league in Central and Southwestern Ontario. Since 2009, when this game was played, I have lost my notes about who the opponent was. The Leafs are in the field here, and I still remember that they won. In 1909 the city converted an old sandpit at the corner of Bloor and Christie and called it Willowvale Park. Everybody else called it Christie Pits, though, and in 1983 the city finally gave in and renamed it Christie Pits Park.
