Harry is a baseball lifer, a former Toronto Blue Jays minor leaguer, and the first Barnstormers' GM. He spent four years in the Toronto Blue Jays minor league system during their heyday of title runs in the early ’90s. He also etched his name in the Canadian baseball history books by becoming the first Canadian to throw a no-hitter in international play. Muir won a gold medal representing Team Ontario at the Canadian Nationals in Trois Rivieres with Team Ontario in 1990. Later that summer, Muir was selected to join Team Canada and traveled to Cuba for the World Junior Championships. In his first start, Muir would throw that historic first-ever no-hitter by a Canadian in international play. To honor Harry Muir, the Barnstormers are naming the Most outstanding pitcher of the year award under his name.
