From Baseball's Canadian-American League by David Pietrusza:


Municipal Stadium in Three Rivers, according to author Bob Ryan, was “built in 1938, as part of Exposition Park, a large recreational complex within the city limits. Reminiscent in some respects of the American WPA projects, it has a feel all its own.”

“It was up on a fairgrounds,” says Guy Barbieri, “it was up on a hill, and we used to stay at a hotel across the street from the Market Square.”

“It was kept up,” recalls Three Rivers hurler Ed Yasinski. “It wasn’t a cow pasture.”

The stadium was, of course, used by the Provincial League until it folded on April 27, 1956, and from 1971 to 1977 by the “Aigles” (“Eagles”) of the Eastern League.
