Glebe Little League Baseball
30 Years Old & Still Growing
Organized in 1954 by the members of the Ottawa
Gyro Club, the Glebe Little League was the first
Canadian Little League Baseball organization in the
City of Ottawa. Children between the ages of 8 and
12 who lived within the boundaries of Bronson
Ave., the Rideau Canal and the Crosstown tracks
(now the Queensway) were invited to register. The
opening game of the first season was held on June
20, 1954, and was highlighted by a parade through
the streets of the Glebe to a baseball diamond
located in the corner of Lansdowne Park at Queen
Elizabeth Driveway and Fifth Ave.
Thirty years have passed since that first game,
and while the diamond at Lansdowne Park still exists,
these years have seen many changes. The
League has grown from the original 4 teams (50
players) to 23 teams with over 300 players ranging
in age from 5 (Tee-Ball) to 18 (Big League). The
boundaries have grown also. The Glebe Little
League now draws players from the Glebe, Centretown,
Ottawa South, Ottawa East and Sandy
Hill. Baseball diamonds are now located at both
Lansdowne and Brewer Parks.
Running a Little League Baseball organization
takes a lot of time, energy and money. The players
and parents appreciate the efforts of all the
organizers, coaches, sponsors and supporters who
make baseball possible each year.
