“We’re very thankful for the support of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Albany Club in making this luncheon happen,” said Scott Crawford, the Hall’s director of operations. “This is an important fundraiser for us, as we work towards building our new museum. And speaking from a fan’s perspective, it’s rare to have this many Canadian baseball legends in the same room. I can’t wait to hear them talk about their careers during the panel discussion.”

Located at 91 King Street East in Toronto, the Albany Club is one of Canada’s oldest private clubs. Founded in 1882 and named after the Duke of Albany, the Club has been at its current location for more than a century.
