A 'knock-out' evening for Latin America
Former Toronto Blue Jays' short-stop Tony Fernandez was the special guest at the 2007 Spirit and Sport Dinner and Auction.
Tony Fernandez
Called by God to serve the poor
A Major League Baseball star for 18 seasons, Tony Fernandez won four Gold Glove Awards and was selected five times as an All-Star. Much of his career was spent playing shortstop for the Toronto Blue Jays, most notably when they won the 1993 World Series with Fernandez driving in nine runs during the series – a record for a shortstop.
A soft-spoken man who is very open about his faith, Tony also faced a number of hardships during his baseball career including being hit in the face by a pitch in 1989 and requiring reconstructive surgery, and twice breaking his elbow.
