Bay, Dempster, Thomson and Ash headed into Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame
ST. MARYS, Ont. — Former Blue Jays general manager Gord Ash wasn’t thinking about a lengthy career when he took a part-time job with the Toronto team’s ticket office in 1977.
He just wanted to watch some baseball.
Ash — who started his Blue Jays career in their inaugural season before working his way up to the team’s GM job — was announced Tuesday as a member this year’s Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame induction class along with slugger Jason Bay, pitcher Ryan Dempster and coach Rob Thomson.
