There were many places to play sport in Brightside, but football and baseball players typically used the field below the Hamilton By-Products Coke Company of Canada Ltd.’s Gasometer, a place where Proctor and Gamble spread its soap-making bi-products, which made for one of the most lush, green playing fields in the city.
