Baseball Canada's Jim Baba Set to Retire
Jim will be retiring from the post he’s held for over two decades at the end of this year.
In 2000, Baba accepted the role of Manager, Baseball Operations with Baseball Canada. Shortly thereafter, he transitioned to the role of Executive Director where he has overseen the federation’s Ottawa office operations for the last 21 years.

Jim is an outstanding ambassador for our sport both domestically and internationally. He is very well respected in sport circles, and his impact on baseball has been unparalleled. Jim, from all of us at Baseball Ontario, we wish you all the best in your retirement, and we know we'll find you in the stands continuing to cheer on this sport you love so much!
