Each of the 16 inductees from this year’s class were initially named to the class of 2020. However, due to the pandemic the 2020 induction ceremony was cancelled, bumping the celebration to this year and rebranding the ceremony as the class of 2021.

Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum CEO and president, Jane Shury said now just days away, the excitement for the weekend is palpable as they look forward to a return of their biggest event of the year.

“It’s very exciting,” Shury said. “Not only because it’s our 36^th induction, but because we did not have an induction last year and those guys who are going to be inducted have been waiting. It’s really very exciting around here getting ready for it.”
