To Mike Upmalis:

I got caught in mid-sentence when my boss entered my office, so here is what I 
think happened re: Rod Carew & Canada, etc.

I do think that Carew was misquoted about not wanting to get his 3,000th hit
in Canada.  He probably said that he preferred to get it back in Anaheim or
in Minnesota, where most of his illustrious career was spent.

By the way, I was wondering if there were any more Canadiens in the majors now
that Fergie Jenkins is retired?  Baseball isn't the exclusive right of the U.S.
as much as Hockey is not the exclusive right of Canada.
