Baseball Ontario
Baseball Ontario, officially known as the Ontario Baseball Association (OBA), is the provincial governing body for baseball in Ontario. The Ontario Baseball Association was founded under the name "Ontario Baseball Amateur Association" which was organized at a meeting held in Hamilton at the Central YMCA on Saturday, May 4, 1918. In 1938, the name was changed to "Ontario Baseball Association", and in 1982, the organization was incorporated as "Ontario Baseball Association, Inc". Baseball Ontario currently has its headquarters in Cambridge, Ontario. In 2017, Baseball Ontario is celebrating 100 years of amateur baseball in the province which will culminate in the 2017 Baseball Ontario/Baseball Canada AGM in Hamilton in November.[1]

In 2013, Baseball Ontario was named Province of the Year by Baseball Canada due, in large part to the eight medals won by Ontario teams at National Championships. Ontario medaled in all seven tournaments, winning gold at the Bantam Girls, Bantam Boys, Midget, Junior, Senior Women's and Senior Men's tournaments in addition to a silver medal at the Baseball Canada Cup and a bronze at the Senior Men's tournament.
The 2020 baseball season was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Government of Ontario enforced a shutdown of all non-essential services and baseball was put on hold. Games resumed in much of the province by June 17th, however with modifications to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 disease. In an abundance of caution, Provincial Championships for both Rep and Select Divisions were placed on hiatus for the 2020 season.
Hall of Fame
The establishment of the Baseball Ontario Hall of Fame provides the opportunity to recognize individuals and teams that have achieved the highest standards and commitment to the sport of baseball in Ontario.

Baseball Ontario Umpires
Baseball Ontario's Umpire Development program is administered under the leadership of the Supervisor of Umpires, Ray Merkley and The Baseball Ontario Umpires Committee. It is one of the hardest working committees in the OBA, working year-round to improve umpiring across the province.
Umpires in Ontario are certified by Baseball Canada trained Course Conductors and progress through the ranks beginning with Level 1 and working their way to the pinnacle of amateur umpiring in Canada, Level 5 (International Certified). The curriculum for the provincial umpire development program is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to ensure maximum effectiveness. Level 1 umpires progress through two years of basic umpire training, learning The Offense and The Defense. Level 2 umpires expand on the Level 1 training through a three-year program; The Offense, The Defense, and Game Management.
Level 3 umpires are the most senior provincially certified umpires. Annually these umpires must complete and pass an exam to maintain certification and must attend a Superclinic once every three years. The Superclinics are more advanced than the Level 1 & 2 programs and are designed to be more intensive, reflecting the advanced skills and abilities of the Level 3 umpires.
Level 4 and 5 umpires are certified by Baseball Canada after receiving provincial endorsement and are eligible to represent Ontario at National and International championships.
The Course Conductors are certified by Baseball Canada and must attend an intensive training Caravan in order to attain certification as a Course Conductor. In order to maintain their status as Course Conductors and ensure effective standardized training of officials across the province, Baseball Ontario also regularly hosts Clinician's Retreats and other professional development opportunities.
There are several levels of Course Conductor status:
- Emerging Course Conductor
- Effective Course Conductor
- Accomplished Course Conductor
- Senior Course Conductor
- Master Course Conductor

Umpire certification
The following chart describes the OBA's umpire certification program, and how one would go about becoming an umpire. First, one must be certified as a Level 1 umpire. At this level, no previous experience is necessary, and to meet the requirements one must simply attend a Level 1 clinic. The chart also demonstrates final examination requirements; the levels of baseball that a Level 1 umpire is certified to umpire; and, the requirements necessary to maintain certification. The evaluation column refers to required live evaluations from highly trained umpires during an actual game.

World Baseball Classic
In 2013, Baseball Ontario Umpire Committee member and former Minor League umpire Trevor Grieve was selected to participate in the World Baseball Classic.
Grieve was given the opportunity to umpire at the WBC Qualifier in Jupiter, Florida in September 2012 where he worked four out of six tournament games including home plate when South Africa took on France in an elimination game and first base when Spain defeated Israel in the championship contest.
The Oshawa, ON native umpired every round of the WBC beginning in Taichung, Taiwan for the first round before travelling to Tokyo, Japan for the second round of competition.
Trevor was very successful in the first two rounds of the tournament and earned a spot in the Championship Round held in San Francisco, CA working third & first base in each of the semi-final games and then finishing off the tournament by working the right field line in the gold medal game with three MLB umpires.

First recorded baseball game
1838 Beachville & Zorra Amateur Teams – First Recorded Baseball Game 1988 Induction year into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame
On June 4, 1838, a year before Abner Doubleday was recognized with inventing baseball in Cooperstown, New York, two teams from Oxford and Zorra townships met in Beachville, Ontario in what is now known as the first documented game in North American history. It was Dr. Adam Ford, a former resident of St. Marys, Ontario, now home to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, who later reported details of this game in a letter published in the May 5, 1886 issue of Sporting Life magazine.
While living in Denver, Colorado, he wrote of his recollections that the match was played on a square field in a pasture. The game included five bases, fair and foul balls, players using a hand hewn stick as a bat and a ball made of twisted yarn and covered with calf skin. Ford's account was researched by the Beachville District Historical Society and it was concluded that the information in his letter is authentic.
The following are the names of the players on the Beachville and Zorra teams that participated in the historic game:
