LACASSE BASEBALL PARK

Lacasse Park in Tecumseh, ON has been home to the St. Clair College Saints Baseball program since 2012 and is one of Windsor/Essex County’s premier baseball facilities which first opened in 1947 under the name Memorial Park.  The facility was renamed in honour of Bert Lacasse in 1979 who was a longtime Essex County player and manager widely regarded as ‘Mr. Baseball’ in the area.  The Tecumseh Baseball Club has roots dating back to 1943 and operates the diamond in conjunction with the Town of Tecumseh. 

One of the most charming features of the facility is the covered grandstand seating area behind home plate which was first added in 1949 but rebuilt in 1997 and can accommodate up to 800 hundred patrons. 

Lacasse Park has played host to several major championships which most recently include Co-Hosts of Ontario Senior Elimination Tournament in 2017, 2018 and 2019.  Lacasse Park and the Tecumseh Baseball Club was the outright host of the 2001 Ontario Senior Elimination Tournament. 

St. Clair College has utilized the complex to host the 2013 and 2017 OCAA Provincial Baseball Championship along with the 2014 OUA/OCAA Championship.  In addition, Lacasse Park was home to the St. Clair Green Giants who played three seasons in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League from 2017-2019.
