Alexandra Park was a proverbial hot bed of fastball activity during the 60’s and 70’s and 80’s and showcased several outstanding teams from the area including Oshawa Tony’s, Gale Lumber and Scugog Cleaners Juniors. Some of the greatest players in fastball played at Alexandra Park at one time or other including Canadian Hall of Famer Pete Landers along with Bob Domick and Charlie Justice.
