History
The current field and grandstand was opened in 1986 during the first seasons for the Blue Jays. The stadium was built or reconfigured from the former Merritton Community Park baseball field from 1960s.
The park was originally called Merritton Baseball Field and now referred to as George Taylor Field renamed in honour of Merritton native and former St. Catharines Blue Jays/Stompers groundskeeper George (Clickey) Taylor.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
