Jane Shury is the driving force behind the Sask. Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum in Battleford.
Shury, who turns 90 next month, has dedicated nearly half of her life to ensuring Saskatchewan's incredible baseball history is never forgotten.
More than 400 people have been inducted into Saskatchewan's Baseball Hall of Fame, as well as a number of teams and families.
In August a new crop of inductees will be honoured. 12 individuals and one team will become part of Saskatchewan's baseball history during the annual induction ceremony, an event that attracts hundreds of people each year.
Shury, who spends a minimum of 40 hours a week at the museum, volunteers her time. She said she first expressed interest in retiring from her position in 1999, but noted that it's been a struggle to find someone willing to take over.
With each year that passes, the air of uncertainty surrounding the future of the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum grows thicker.
While her collection of baseball memoribilia is vast, she said there is one item that is high on her wishlist for her upcoming 90th birthday -- a baseball signed by Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Yusei Kikuchi.
"I really like Kikuchi. I like his pitching. He's a good pitcher, he's steady... and he's a left-handed pitcher," Shury said, adding that she has always had a fondness for lefties. "I would like a Kikuchi to sign a baseball for me!"
