Hazel Mae is stepping into a new spotlight this fall, announcing a Canada-wide book tour set for November to promote her upcoming memoir.
The Blue Jays on-field broadcaster shared the news on an off-day, calling it "a shameless plug" before revealing the details.
"Excited to announce I'm going on a Canada wide book tour in November," Mae wrote. "Hope to meet as many people as I can across the country. Stay tuned for cities and details."
The memoir traces her career in broadcasting, a path that's put her in front of Blue Jays fans and baseball audiences across North America for years.
Preorders are already open through HarperCollins Canada, giving fans a chance to line up their copy well before the November release window and tour dates arrive.
Broadcasters rarely get this kind of platform to tell their own story in their own words, and a national tour signals real publisher confidence behind the project.
Mae has built a reputation as one of the most recognizable voices in Blue Jays coverage, someone fans see regularly without always knowing the full story behind how she got there.
Why a broadcaster's own story resonates with fans
A memoir like this gives fans a rare look behind the desk, the kind of perspective that usually stays hidden behind the games themselves.
Broadcasting careers rarely follow a straight line, and a book built around that journey tends to connect with readers well beyond just the sport itself.
It's a bit like finally getting the director's commentary after years of only watching the movie.
Cities and specific tour dates haven't been announced yet, but the November timeline gives fans something concrete to plan around.
Does a memoir like this change how fans see a familiar broadcasting voice, or does it simply confirm what longtime viewers already suspected about her path to the booth?
For now, the preorder window is open, and Blue Jays fans get their first real chance to read Mae's story in her own words later this year.
