Abstract

The article presents an examination of baseball in Canada. It explores how Canada's presence in the baseball community has declined in the 21st century and attempts to provide some reasons for this downward trend. The authors examine the declining media coverage of baseball in Canada and discuss how this lack of coverage has contributed to the popularity of baseball in Canada. Additionally, the article focuses on the loss of four AAA teams since the year 2000 and the authors discuss the impact these losses have had on the Canadian baseball fan base.
