From the Archives: Baseball in the Market

Sammy Luftspring (1916-2000) was raised in the heart of Kensington Market. Shortly after this photo was taken, Luftspring became a prize-winning boxer who notably adorned his boxing shorts with a Star of David. Pictured, Luftspring (circled) with the Jewish Boys Club Baseball Team, Toronto, 1932.
