Gary Carter has passed away after a courageous fight against brain cancer.
There was a time when Carter was the most popular athlete in Canada; Gretzky-like popular. I was born midway through his career and never had a chance to watch him play. But from what I've read, he was a great person, on and off the field. He loved God, his family and baseballEric Rosenhekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12641227829748657945noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143101.post-21075531605492231022012-02-15T07:05:00.005-05:002012-02-15T07:05:00.891-05:00Re. The 1981 Montreal Expos(My latest from TheGoodPoint.com)
2011 marked the 30th anniversary of the Montreal Expos' first and only playoff appearance. It was also the first time the MLB post-season took place on Canadian soil.
Sadly, this important milestone was almost entirely ignored by the mainstream media.
Take a trip down memory lane.

Randy CunneyworthHere is my take on the English/French debate involving Randy Cunneyworth and the Montreal Canadiens.
An overreaction by several Quebecois.

This one is from 1979 and promotes a Blue Jays/Brewers match.
Another jazzy tune with footage from a match between the Jays and the Mariners at the old Kingdome.

Although I do like the jazzy tune.
From 1977, promoting the first home opener at Olympic Stadium. Lots of footage from Jarry Park.

Beeston and AALots of discussion yesterday about comments made by Paul Beeston and Alex Anthopoulos. They said if fans want the payroll to increase, they'll have to buy tickets and come to the games.
This is a simple case of putting the cart before the horse. If they want fans to buy tickets, Beeston and AA must give fans a reason to do so. In other words, put together a team that will contend.

A big thank you to Launy Schwartz, Sammy (our technical producer), Mr. Schultz of BCSS, 102.5 The Game, fans/writers/bloggers of the Nashville Predators and our featured guests. And of course, a HUGE thank you to everyone who listened to the show.
Launy and I are very proud of what we put together. It was a lot of fun!

Maple Leaf GardensFor the record, Maple Leaf Gardens did not close in 1999, as some in the Toronto media have reported.
MLG was still used by the Leafs as a practice facility for a few seasons.
The Toronto Rock also used MLG as their home arena until 2001.
There was a OneXOne concert held in the facility, as well as a Nuit Blanche installation in 2008.
