The Northeast Indiana Baseball Association (NEIBA) has worked to preserve and promote the heritage of America's National Pastime in Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana since the 1940's.

In addition to a Museum (which is located in the Dean Kruse Foundation’s American Heritage Village), NEIBA coordinated a local Hall of Fame and Annual HOF Awards Banquet. NEIBA members also receive a quarterly publication, Line Drives.
