Canadian Baseball History Conference 2026
The 9th annual Canadian Baseball History Conference will be held in St. Marys, the home of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, in the fall of 2026. Join us for a weekend of research presentations and discussion on any and all aspects of the history of baseball in Canada.
A keynote address will discuss recent research resulting in a new method of evaluating leagues, be they independent, semi-professional, or within Organized Baseball. A panel discussion featuring four of Canada’s most accomplished baseball historians will identify influential trends and events that have shaped the game across the country’s different regions.
