2016 Jack Graney award winner Larry Millson has passed away<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are saddened to learn of the passing of legendary baseball writer and 2016 Jack Graney Award winner Larry Millson. Larry’s career in Journalism spanned more than 60 years. This included working the Blue Jays beat for The Globe and Mail for close to three decades where he established himself as one of our country’s most respected and authoritative sports writers. Last year, at the age of 82, Larry could still be found in the Blue Jays’ press box covering the club’s postseason run. Larry was a true baseball writing legend and it’s believed that no one has written more articles about the Blue Jays than him. We would like to extend our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millson was assigned to the Blue Jays beat in 1980 and worked full-time in that capacity for 26 years. He was in the Blue Jays\u2019 press box for five of the club\u2019s division titles and both World Series triumphs and has likely written more articles about the club than any other reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1987, he penned his first book, the groundbreaking Ballpark Figures: The Blue Jays and the Business of Baseball<\/em>. It was one of the first books to examine the complex business side of the sport. He also co-wrote ex-Blue Jays trainer Ken Carson\u2019s memoir, From Hockey to Baseball: I Kept Them in Stitches, <\/em>which was published earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since leaving the Globe & Mail in 2009, Millson has covered baseball for MLB.com, The Canadian Press, Baseball America, The Sports Xchange and various other newspapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
