Today was Canada Day (I say was since I'm writing this at 11pm) and it was weird...
No game on TV..
No Canada Red jerseys.
No Celebrations..
But it's Canada Day!
So on this different Canada Day, I want to do something a little different..
I want to highlight some people who share a birthday with this great nation.
According to Baseball-Reference, there are 53 players who share July 1 as a birthday.
Looking through and I have to say there are some names I know.. But in a way I'm disappointed.. There are no Canadians who made the Majors that are born July 1...
So who is?
Well, may not be a Canadian, but he did play for the Jays..
Aaron Sanchez.
Brett Oberholtzer is also a Canada Day baby..
Charlie Blackmon is on the list as well
Hall of Famer John Clarkson.
Mike Montgomery
Fozzie Bear's favourite player Michael Wacha (Wocka Wocka)
Nelson Cruz. He likes facing Jays pitchers, hitting 25 HRs off them over his career.
Finally, another Hall of Famer in Roger Connor.
Well.. I can't leave it without some Canadian content..
Here's a song by the Arrogant Worms..
That Fozzie Bear reference is underrated.
ReplyDeleteI figured I'd put that into the universe.. Get it out of my head lol
DeleteNice Fozzie Bear reference...
ReplyDeleteThank you.. I've had that go through my head every time I hear Wacha's name..
