The Toronto Sun published its list of the 100 most influential Canadians in baseball, which includes, among others, noted man-about-the-Internet Jonah Keri, true SABR Tom Tango, former Mets pitching coach Dave Wallace, and Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLBTradeRumors.com.
Not on the list or even in the honorable mentions? You guessed it: Jason Bay, the active Canadian home-run leader. Recent retiree and total hero Matt Stairs was also slighted, perhaps because Matt Stairs belongs to the world now.
The Drunk Jays Fans were also excluded, calling into question the validity of the entire endeavor.
