On a perfect day for ball, Baseball Oshawa added three players to the Wall of Excellence at Kinsmen Memorial Stadium on Saturday, August 6, 2022.

Brad Reeson, Chris Kemlo and Andy Stewart were officially added to the 'WALL,' which sits down the first base side behind the Legionaires dugout.
All three were recognized in the Player category.
