Baseball has a rich history spanning 75 seasons (1946-2020), with 71 teams in 21 minor leagues representing 35 Canadian cities. These teams played under the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (Minor League Baseball since 1999) or operated independently. Some teams existed for a short period, while others lasted only three seasons or less. Interestingly, seven teams have maintained a continuous presence for over 20 years, including the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the independent Northern League and American Association, with an impressive 27 consecutive seasons since 1994. This history delves into the fortunes of individual award winners, former Negro League players, and future Hall-of-Famers, as well as the rise and fall of independent league teams and the migration of Canadian teams to the United States.
