It's written on the same Post It note as the all time African American hockey greats.

Unless I'm mistaken doesn't Geddy Lee have one of best collections of Negro League memorabilia anywhere on earth?

I seem to recall reading that some of the stuff he has is the sort of stuff that the Negro League Hall of Fame only wishes it could have.

Ron Sandelli never dreamed he could have been one of the most 100 influential anything. He never could have imagined how worthless canadians are at baseball.

26 whole players in the Major Leagues? Wow! I think there's about 26 Dominican players per team. And half of their island is Haiti.

Surely you can't be serious.

Was Stubby Clapp on there?
If not, he sure as hell should have been.

He gave a very large chunk of it to the museum.

He makes more than Steve Nash?

I'm sure Votto will have something to say about that in a year....

Did I read that right...."Canada beat.....the Netherlands, World Cup Champions (??)

Baseball has slipped if the Dutch are baseball world champions. Must have kidnapped a bunch of Arubans and Antilleans

Can't believe Bay is making more than Morneau.

/Even as a White Sox fan I feel horrible for what has happened to Morneau
//Hope his quality of life gets better

Collects White Sox stuff as well (he's railed against New Comiskey in the past) and is a serious, serious game ball collector specializing in balls from no-hitters.

What, no Matt Stairs? After taking Broxton yard in the playoffs in 2008, he will forever be greatest living Canadian in the minds of most Phillies fans.

Canadian baseball is way better than American baseball. We have 4 bases and a bigger diamond which makes for a much more athletic, skillful game.
