The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is now located in St. Marys, Ontario, Canada. Founded in October 1983 in Toronto, Ontario, it is dedicated to preserving Canada's baseball heritage whose origins date 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, Ontario.

Since opening, fifty-eight members (34 players, 23 builders, 2 honorary, 4 honorary teams) have been inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. It includes professional ballplayers, amateurs, builders, and honorary members who have helped popularize the sport in Canada.

In addition, the Canadiana Baseball Hall of Fame also gives out the Tip O'Neill Award annually to the baseball player "judged to have excelled in individual achievement and team contribution while adhering to the highest ideals of the game of baseball."
