Michael “Pinball” Clemons
Canadian football hall-of-famer and founder of the Pinball Clemons Foundation
Few people exemplify the qualities of
personal excellence, teamwork, community
leadership and overcoming the
odds better than CFL legend Michael
"Pinball" Clemons.
Clemons joined the National Football
League in 1987, and the Toronto
Argonauts (and the CFL) in 1989. In
1990, he was honoured with the CFL’s
Most Outstanding Player award, after
setting the single-season record for
all-purpose yards. He played his last
game as an Argonaut in 2000, before
becoming head coach of the team.
In 2007, Clemons stepped down as
head coach to become the chief executive
officer; in 2009, he was appointed
to vice chair of the team – he has
since left the position. That same year,
he founded the Michael "Pinball"
Clemons Foundation, which is dedicated
to helping disadvantaged youth.
Clemons is a member of The Order
of Ontario and a Queens Diamond
Jubilee Medal recipient.
Listen to Clemons speak on Friday, Nov. 16,
at 11:45 a.m. in the Van Horne Ballroom. n
