OTTAWA- Baseball Canada would like to announce the 16 finalists for ‘Canada’s Favourite Ballpark’. After receiving over 40 submissions, the field has been narrowed to 16 parks that will compete for the title of ‘Canada’s Favourite Ballpark’.
These 16 ballparks have been randomly placed into 4 groups with 4 entries in each group.
