The Toronto Blue Jays are deeply saddened by the passing of Larry Millson, one of Canada's most respected baseball writers.   For more than 30 years as a Blue Jays beat writer, Larry chronicled many of the most memorable moments in franchise history with insight, professionalism, and an enduring passion for the game.    Even after stepping away from full-time beat coverage, Larry remained a familiar and welcome presence in the Rogers Centre press box, continuing to share his love of baseball through his writing, his stories, and the friendships he built throughout the game.   We extend our heartfelt condolences to Larry's family, friends, and former colleagues. His contributions to baseball journalism and the Canadian baseball community will be remembered.

It’s time to #StrikeOutALS 💜⚾️ Thank you to the @BlueJays and @JaysCare for providing ALS community members the opportunity to attend the home game and welcoming Raj and his daughter, Ashley, onto the field to throw out the first pitch yesterday in honour of #LouGehrigDay and ALS awareness. We’re stronger together, as we unite for #aWorldFreeOfALS. 📹: @BlueJays

I am beginning my fundraising for ALS again. If you have the means to support this cause, that would be great. I'm acutely aware of how tight disposable income is so absolutely no pressure Http://bit.ly/26ian

Piece of advice for the person singing the 🇨🇦 anthem tonight in Toronto. Whoever you are...swallow your pride..belt out a few bars..and then hold your mic to the sky and let 42,000 sing it the way it’s meant to be sung. That would be so Canadian…and would be magic. #WorldSeries

Pictures, memories, and tributes like this bring us back to the realization that this disease takes people way too early. Christopher deserved the chance to experience this incredible run and scream and jump around like the rest of us during the last month.#makeALShistory

#BlueJays ⚾️🧵🪡 An hour or so before 1st pitch of Game 162 & want to highlight, not the MVP, but the player who *embodies* the 2025 Blue Jays season: Ernie Clement He's come up huge recently, but really, he's been productive all year.
