Ken Fidlin

Ken Fidlin is a sportswriter who has worked principally for the Toronto Sun. He won the Jack Graney Award granted by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019.

Fidlin was born in Norwich, ON and attended the University of Western Ontario. His first job in journalism was with the Woodstock Sentinel-Review in 1971. He then worked for other papers in Ontario before landing a job with the Sun, in 1980, which he would keep for the next four decades. He covered every major sporting event during that period, but developed an expertise in reporting on baseball in general, and on the Toronto Blue Jays in particular. He was the paper's Blue Jays beat writer from 1983 to 1991. In 1989, he was the co-author of The Official Blue Jays Album: A Dozen Years of Baseball Memories with Fred Thornhill. After a stint as a general sports columnist, he returned to the Blue Jays beat from 2007 to 2016, before retiring in December 2016.
