Hi Irv.
Bill Phillips in regarded as the first Canadian big league player.
He has a few cards in the N172 set (Old Judge)
Other Canucks in the set;
Tip O'Neill
George Wood
Pete Wood
Arthur Irwin
John Irwin
Pop Smith
*I think I counted 54 Canadians who played at least one game from 1880-1900. Like Richard noted, Baseball-Reference has a full list of all Canadians who have made a big league appearance.
