The St. Clair Green Giants have been based out of Tecumseh’s Lacasse Park and the league has 12 teams competing and St. Clair is the only Canadian franchise.
The GLSCL had its inaugural season in 1984 and is sanctioned by Major League Baseball (MLB) with teams across the Michigan/Ohio/Indiana region. Each franchise is comprised of players from all over North America but must be competing with a college or university baseball school. Currently players in the league are from the NCAA, NAIA, and the NJCAA. With St. Clair College Franchise Purchase, the league will now feature some talent from Canadian conferences like the OCAA (Ontario College Athletic Association).
The St. Clair Green Giants will play a 42-game regular season schedule in June and July. There are 21 home games beginning on June 4th at Tecumseh’s Lacasse Park.
