The league is the result of the 2002 amalgamation of several men's senior elite level baseball teams in the province of Quebec. The league from
Montreal, the
Ligue de Baseball Senior de Montréal, merged with those of the
Quebec City and
Trois-Rivières areas. There were originally ten teams, five from the Montreal area, four from Quebec City and one from Trois-Rivières. A year later, the senior-level league teams from the
Estrie and
Bas-Saint-Laurent leagues joined bringing the total up to 15. In 2009, the league became the sole senior elite baseball league in Quebec when the
Ligue de Baseball Senior Majeur du Québec folded, and its four teams joined the LBEQ. In 2004, the LBSEQ became the first in Quebec to use wooden
baseball bats exclusively. Other competitive levels of play in Quebec have since followed suit (senior, junior and midget). In its seven years of existence, the LBSEQ has represented Quebec in the
Baseball Canada Senior Men's Championship each year and has earned four medals. These were a bronze in 2002, a gold in 2003, a bronze in 2004 and a silver in 2008. The LBSEQ a well traveled league has also participated in various tournaments outside of Quebec. In 2008, they played in the
4 Nations Cup in
Liège against professional teams from
Belgium and
England. In 2009, the LBSEQ participated in a tournament in Rouen, France hosted by the local team the
Huskies, along with teams from Germany, the USA and the
French national team. In 2008, the league participated in and won the
Vintage Base Ball World Series in
Massachusetts. It competed against the
Intercounty Baseball League of
Ontario in the
2010 New Era All-Star Classic. In 2013, with the league's growing caliber and reputation, the league's leaders made the decision to rename it the Ligue de baseball majeur du Québec (LBMQ). ==Teams==
