Ian MacDonald

Ian MacDonald, former Expos beat writer for The Gazette (among other things) has been honoured by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame with its Jack Graney Award, given to someone in the media who has made a significant contribution to the sport in their life’s work.

MacDonald, not to be confused with conservative political columnist L. Ian MacDonald, has been retired for a decade now, but still contributes Where Are They Now columns, as well as his weekly NFL picks during the season.

If you’re like me, your reaction was a resounding: “Wait a minute, there’s a Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame?”
