It's a sad day for Canadian baseball fans.
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 baseball.
Gary Carter – All-Star, World Series champion, Hall-of-Famer and one of the greatest players to ever wear a Montreal Expos uniform.
Condolences to his family.

Re. 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.
Enjoy!

The Locks of Stamkos
I've cranked up that rambling zamboni again. The targets: The NHL All-Star game, the AHL All-Star game, Tim Thomas and Steven Stamkos.
After reading it, you might fall in love with the locks of Stamkos.
