About the Intercounty Baseball League
The IBL started in 1919 with 4 teams (Galt, Guelph, Stratford, and Kitchener). 2024 Barnstormers' inaugural season marked the IBL's 105th season of operation. The IBL is one of the longest continuously operated baseball leagues in the world and serves as a valuable training ground for coaches, umpires, and front office staff. More than 40 IBL players have advanced to Major League Baseball or returned to the IBL following their MLB careers. The league is comprised of teams from Barrie, Brantford, Kitchener, London, Toronto, Guelph, Welland, and Hamilton.
