Jack Graney Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jack Graney Award is an award presented by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum to a member of the Canadian media for their contributions to the game of baseball in Canada. The award is not presented every year, but rather when the committee believes there to be a worthy candidate.
The award takes its name from Jack Graney, one of the first Canadian baseball players to enjoy success in the major leagues, and one of the first notable Canadian baseball broadcasters.
