[edit] History

The museum was founded in October 1983 in Toronto at Exhibition Place and later moved to Ontario Place. In 1994, it moved to St. Marys. It is dedicated to preserving Canada's baseball heritage, which dates back to June 4, 1838, when a game closely resembling today's baseball was played in Beachville, Ontario, according to an article in Sporting Life magazine in 1886 written by Dr. Adam Ford, formerly of St. Marys. The Hall gained some major attention when Pete Rose became eligible for earning his 4,000th hit with the Montreal Expos. However Rose has yet to be elected to the Hall.
