Hall of Fame Year-end Annual Appeal<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Believe it or not, before this year, it had been more than a century since the Red Sox faced the Dodgers in a World Series.  It was 1916 and the Boston Red Sox, who were then owned by 2004 Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductee  Joseph J. Lannin, battled the Brooklyn Dodgers (or Robins as they were often called).  The Red Sox were anchored by a young left handed pitcher named Babe Ruth who pitched over 300 innings and had 23 complete games in 40 starts in the regular season.  In the World Series all he did was pitch a 14 inning complete game win in game 2 at Braves Field helping the Sox defeat the Dodgers in 5 games.<\/p>\n

In this years\u2019 fall classic we saw David Price make his mark as a dominant post season performer with two clutch wins and Steve Pearce, who was traded to Boston in late June from Toronto, win the MVP honors with three Home Runs in the final two games to help seal the Dodgers\u2019 fate. It was performances like those that fans will be talking about for years to come.<\/p>\n

At the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, we strive to preserve the memories and stories that have made baseball just as magical here in our country.  It is our hope that when people visit the Museum in St. Marys, walk among our four ballfields, and attend our annual Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies, it will incite attendees to reflect on their own memories of the game of baseball and the loved ones that have shared those special moments with them.<\/p>\n

To accomplish this goal, we need continued support from our loyal members and partners.  As we near our year-end, and make plans for the grand reopening of the Museum in 2019, please kindly consider making a donation.  All participants will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of their donation.  To make a donation please visit our website at https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/support-us\/donations<\/a><\/strong><\/span> .  Below are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n
