The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was started in Toronto by Bruce Prentice and was incorporated on 19 November 1982. The main two homes for the Hall of Fame in Toronto were Exhibition Place and Ontario Place. The Hall of Fame closed its doors in Toronto in 1991. In August 1994, it was awarded to St. Marys, Ontario and in June 1998 the doors officially opened there.
The Hall of Fame and Museum is dedicated to preserving Canada’s baseball heritage which dates back to 4 June 1838, when a game of baseball was played in Beachville, Ontario; and even further back to the late 1700s when baseball was mentioned in New Brunswick. Inductees include professional and amateur players, builders, administrators, umpires, broadcasters, writers, and honorary members who have helped popularize the sport in Canada. Several teams or groups have also been inducted.
The individuals listed below were born in Manitoba or resided in Manitoba when the outstanding performance or contribution was made.
