canadian baseball hall of fame & museum印象

This little museum is fantastic. Although they are limited for space due to the size of the building they have packed an amazing amount of baseball memorabilia into this museum. You really need to be prepared to spend a couple of hours going through it in order to grasp the value of this place. The amount of work that has gone into gathering and caring for the exhibits is obvious and anyone who can complain about this facility does not appreciate baseball.

For a true fan this is an amazing little location - they have alot of cool pieces including George Bell's MVP Ring from 1987 and Fergie Jenkins' Cy Young award. Everything from a vintage pitching machine to Babe Ruth's jersey

I have never visited the Baseball hall of Fame but people interested should know that this is not in Stratford but in St Marys which is about 20 km SW.

The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame is located in St. Mary's, approx 15 minutes from Stratford. You get there to find a cute little house. The memorabilia was crammed to the ceiling in this four room house. The lady at the front desk said that they had stuff in the basement and stuff upstairs but couldn't show it because they didn't have any more room. A new 10,000 sq/ft building is in the works and will hopefully be built in the next couple of years. It took us approx 1 hour to look through all of the stuff. There are 3 baseball diamonds and 32 acres worth of trails which you can walk on. Definitely worth the short drive to St. Mary's.

This is quite unlike Cooperstown, which feels like a shrine. It's a homely, rather cluttered house that offers a perspective on baseball that is absent from the much larger hall of fame in upstate New York, namely the Canadian view. It focuses on Canadians in the game, most notably Fergie Jenkins, as well as non-Canadians who played in Canada at some point, such as Jackie Robinson. For baseball fans this is a must-see attraction.

then the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame is a good way to spend a couple of hours. It certainly doesn't compare to it's US counterpoint in Cooperstown, or to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, but for the true baseball aficionado this is well worth a visit.

First let me say we were not able to get in being Thanksgiving morning and we were driving through St. Marys to get home...to Chatham. But if first impressions are anything, this building strikes out. If you get into it from the highway, fine, but via the town, it is in a residential area, and on a dead end street to boot. The day we were there, there appeared to be ball diamonds under construction (good), but the museum itself is housed in an old frame two story house that just has no character. For Canada's shrine to baseball, we were not impressed. And i am even more sorry Chatham, Ontario gave up the chance to have the opportunity for this museum. I am sure we would have more visitors, especially from the states. But, good Luck, St. Marys!

It's obviously no Cooperstown, but it is a nice look into Canadian baseball.If you're ever in the area, I suggest you check it out!

As a baseball historian and a major collector of sports memorabilia I was one of the original people proposing a Baseball Hall of Fame in Canada in the 1970s ... It took until 1983 to officially open up with floating displays in various locations around Toronto before it settled in this tremendous middle-sized historical rural town in Western Ontario, about halfway between Toronto and Windsor / Detroit ... If you are a ' true ' baseball fan you will most definitely want to take the jog up from Highway 401 to visit this smallish but very appealing little museum which will be a highlight of your trip / holiday ... There are plans to eventually open a much larger facility as there are, as per most museums, only about 25 % of items out in these various displays so even greater treasures will be shown at that time.

Unfortanitley there isn't enough room for them to show all of their artifacts. What the do have out is truly amazing. You can also buy some of the lesser memrobilia. I think the should make a second so everything can be on displey. ThanksLucas, 13
