\u00ab J'\u00e9tais incroyablement surpris au d\u00e9part et ensuite tr\u00e8s humble et reconnaissant d'\u00eatre reconnu \u00e0 simplement faire ce que j'ai aim\u00e9 le plus dans ma vie. Avec mon implication pass\u00e9e avec le Temple, je sais que la liste des intronis\u00e9s est compos\u00e9e d'un nombre impressionnant de personnes qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9es dans notre sport de diff\u00e9rentes mani\u00e8res. Mon intronisation va au-del\u00e0 de mes r\u00eaves. \u00bb <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e9 \u00e0 Toronto en 1937, Howard Birnie a \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9 dans le baseball torontois pendant plus de 70 ans comme joueur, entra\u00eeneur et arbitre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pendant sa carri\u00e8re d'entra\u00eeneur \u00e0 Toronto de 1958 \u00e0 1988, il a men\u00e9 ses \u00e9quipes \u00e0 sept championnats locaux, un championnat provincial et un championnat national avec les Leaside All-Stars de Toronto en 1964. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au cours des ann\u00e9es, Birnie a occup\u00e9 un nombre incalculable de postes de direction, dont celui de pr\u00e9sident l'Association de baseball de Toronto de 1978 \u00e0 1985 et de pr\u00e9sident de l'Association de baseball de l'Ontario n 1991 et 1992. Il a aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sident de l'Association de baseball de Leaside depuis 1973.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cependant, Birnie est surtout connu comme l'un des arbitres les plus respect\u00e9s et avec le plus d'anciennet\u00e9 au pays. Au cours de ses 34 ann\u00e9es comme arbitre, Birnie a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 six championnats nationaux entre 1979 et 1989, \u00e0 trois championnats internationaux (1985, 1987, 1990) et \u00e0 deux championnats du monde juniors (1986-1987). Il a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi pour arbitrer des matchs de la Coupe Pearson - un concours annuel entre les Blue Jays de Toronto et les Expos de Montr\u00e9al - en 1982, 1984 et 1986.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le travail et l'implication de Birnie lui ont valu plusieurs prix, dont le titre de b\u00e9n\u00e9vole et de dirigeant de l'ann\u00e9e de l'Association de baseball de l'Ontario en 1994 en plus de recevoir le prix du pr\u00e9sident en 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 2012, Birnie a re\u00e7u le prix du jubil\u00e9 de diamant de la Reine en reconnaissance de ses 50 ann\u00e9es de b\u00e9n\u00e9volat dans le domaine du baseball amateur et, l'ann\u00e9e suivante, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de Leaside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les portes du panth\u00e9on de Baseball Ontario lui ont ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 ouvertes en 2017. Deux ans plus tard, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de Toronto. Actuellement, il est toujours impliqu\u00e9 comme directeur dans l'Association du baseball de l'Ontario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
