Today's #FridayFeature from the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum collection is the MVP trophy won by Paul Molitor at the 1993 World Series! In the series, Molitor hit for a .458 average with 2 HR and 8 RBI. Molitor was key to the Blue Jays’ series victory, and was on first base as Joe Carter knocked in the World Series-winning walk-off home run in Game 6. It may seem strange, but on a visit to the Hall of Fame this summer, you will not see Molitor's trophy, and that's because it's one of the artifacts on loan to the Blue Jays this summer for their 50th season exhibits! Next time you're at the Rogers Centre, keep an eye out for Molitor's trophy, currently on display at the Blue Jays games! #baseballhistory #canadianbaseball #fromthecollection #torontobluejays @BlueJays

Hall of Famer Roy Halladay was born on May 14, 1977. On September 27, 1998, in his second big league start, he carried a no-hitter into the bottom of the ninth and had two outs when Detroit Tigers pinch-hitter Bobby Higginson homered. Halladay finished the contest with a one-hitter in the Blue Jays’ 2-1 win. #bluejays #bluejaysnation #bluejaysgame #bluejaysfan #bluejaystrong Hall of Famer Dennis Martinez was born on May 14, 1954. Born in 1954 in Granada, Nicaragua, Martinez recorded 100 wins (second-most in franchise history) in parts of eight seasons with the Montreal Expos from 1986 to 1993. The durable right-hander also ranks second all-time amongst Expos pitchers in games started (233) and innings pitched (1,609) and third in strikeouts (973), complete games (41) and shutouts (13). #expos Visit baseballhalloffame.ca/inductees/ to learn more about our inductees.

Such wonderful work done by Jays Care Foundation. Brings a tear to our eye seeing the field named after our Hall of Famer Rev. Ronald Cullen.

Hall of Famer Jimmy Archer was born on May 13, 1883. At age 20, the young catcher made his professional baseball debut in Fargo, North Dakota. The following year in Boone, Iowa, he would hit .299, convincing the Pittsburgh Pirates to purchase his contract and insert him in their lineup that September.

Great quote about one of our Hall of Famers.

Hall of Famer Felipe Alou was born on May 12, 1935. Alou was part of the Expos organization as a player, instructor or manager for 27 of its 36 years of existence. The highly respected baseball man joined the Expos as an instructor following a successful 18-year playing career – that included a 19-game stint with Montreal in 1973 – in which he hit .286, collected 2,101 hits and was selected to three all-star games. #expos Hall of Famer George Knotty Lee was born May 12, 1877 in Toronto, Ontario. A true Canadian baseball pioneer, Knotty Lee devoted close to 50 years to the game as a player, manager, scout and league organizer. The Toronto native earned his nickname when his father noticed his spitball twisting and knotting towards home plate. Visit baseballhalloffame.ca/inductees/ to learn more about our inductees.

It's #TriviaTuesday! If you think you know which Canadian Baseball Hall of Famer is the answer to this week's question, post in the comments! How'd you do on last week's post about Marcus Stroman? As a Blue Jay, Stroman was the last pitcher to hit a home run prior to the adoption of the universal DH! #trivia #torontobluejays #canadianbaseballhalloffamer @BlueJays @STR0

Lots of great Canadian baseball news this week.

Hall of Famer Roland Gladu was born on May 10, 1911 in Montreal, Quebec. Gladu played 16 seasons of professional baseball between 1932 and 1951, including in the major leagues with the Boston Braves in 1944. Hall of Famer Allan Roth was born on May 10, 1917 in Montreal, Quebec. Allan made a pitch to Branch Rickey in 1944 that made the case for opinions such as on-base percentage being more important than batting average. “And, wouldn’t it help a manager to know, for example, that a certain batter hit .220 against right-handed pitchers and .300 against lefties?”, Roth asked. Rickey became intrigued, and his hiring of Roth in 1947 initiated a trend that has made the personal computer an essential element of an MLB clubhouse’s paraphernalia.

@Mariners So proud of our Tip O’Neill award winner.

Big Maple’s big day in Canada 🍁 On this day in 2018, James Paxton spun the sixth no-hitter in franchise history.

His batting gloves from his RBI record setting month are coming to our Hall of Fame.

#OnThisDay in #baseballhistory James Paxton became the second Canadian-born pitcher to toss a 9-inning no-hitter in the MLB! To make it even more Canadian, he did it at the Rogers Centre in Toronto against the Blue Jays. The lineup card from the history-making event is just one of the incredible artifacts you can see on a visit to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum! 🍁 #canadianbaseball #nohitter⚾️ @Mariners @BlueJays @James_Paxton

Today's #FridayFeature is just one of the incredible artifacts which you can see on a visit to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum!
