With Twins Canadian first baseman Justin Morneau stuck on 99 home runs the AFLAC trivia question on Wednesday's broadcast asked which player is the all-time home run leader among players born in Canada. I immediately knew the answer and I called Master Bates to tell him and play for him Gary Cohen's answer (which he gave with a French accent).
Thanks to a long lineage of Canadians and many Aprils spent watching Expos games on French TV (the french word for home run is circuit, pronounced sir-kwee), Master Bates and I fell in love with this guy. He also helped us win the second of two consecutive fantasy league titles with a ridiculous Coors Field week in the World Series.
All Poopheads should know that the all-time leader in home runs by a Canadian player with 383 is...(say it with a french accent) Larry Walker.
