Baseball originated in Canada.

The game was played on Toronto Island for hundreds of years by people of the First Nations. It was part of their annual festive ceremonies.

Samuel de Champlain observed a ten-day baseball tournament involving eight teams representing villages of the Huronia confederacy. Jacques Cartier reported a similar game being played at Quebec in 1534. John Cabot also made reference in 1497 to a game played in Newfoundland involving stones being thrown and hit with sticks.

Babe Ruth hit his first professional home run in Toronto.
