Canadian Hall Of Fame To Enshrine Rusty Staub
Rusty Staub will be inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall Of Fame on June 23, along with Rheal Cormier and Doug Melvin. The induction will include a number of other events, including a celebrity softball game and Nickelback playing the Canadian national anthem, which was recently changed by executive order from "O Canada" to Rush's "A Farewell To Kings."*

I thought it was
The Tragically Hip’s “Ahead by a Century.” This is going to cost me some Klout about Canada.

I'm so glad
You didn’t make up the part about Rheal Cormier getting in. I had to click through to make sure.
Canada also gave us The Arcade Fire
So I think they’ve paid their debt to music snobs for giving us Nickelback.
Mark Cuban for owner! Save us from the Wilpons!
Rheal Cormier?
They couldn’t have picked a more obscure player? I bet Pete Orr gets the nod next.

Glad to see
Dr. Taylor is already a member.
Ralph Kiner: You've gotta change the script, I don't like the script.
Gary Cohen: What's wrong with the script?
Ralph Kiner: Well the script should be the Mets win every day.
awesome, I was a big fan
I was always surprised he didn’t become a hitting coach
Any task BIG or small, Do it well or not at all
