Canadian Baseball Card of the Week: Born in Victoria, B.C. in 1965, Steve Wilson pitched in parts of six big league seasons with the Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. In 205 career games, the Canuck southpaw, who pitched primarily in relief, posted 13 wins. He currently serves as the Pacific Rim scouting supervisor for the Chicago Cubs.

With help from his two Hall of Fame teammates, Catfish Hunter got the win at Exhibition Stadium on September 21, 1978.
Canadian Card of the Week: 1996 Bowman Ryan Dempster. This 36-year-old Gibsons, B.C., native has recorded the second-most wins (126) by a Canadian in the big leagues (Fergie Jenkins has 284 wins). Now in his 16th major league season, he has posted 10 or more wins in eight campaigns. He also notched 85 saves at the Cubs' closer from 2005 to 2007. The two-time all-star signed a two-year, $26.5-million contract with the Red Sox in the off-season.

Canadian Baseball Card of the Week: 1991 Upper Deck Denis Boucher. This Montreal native spent parts of four seasons in the big leagues from 1991 to 1994 with the Blue Jays, Indians and Expos. He is one of only two players (along with Rob Ducey) to begin their career with the Blue Jays and finish it with the Expos. He is also only one of four Canadians to play for both the Blue Jays and Expos (others are Matt Stairs, Rob Ducey and Shawn Hill).

Canadian Baseball Card of the Week: 1988 O-Pee-Chee Rob Ducey. One of Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's class of 2013, Ducey was born in Toronto, Ont., but raised in Cambridge. Born in Toronto in 1965, Ducey was raised in Cambridge, Ont. The left-handed hitting outfielder was signed as a free agent by the Blue Jays in 1984. After being named MVP of the Rookie Ball Medicine Hat Blue Jays that year, he rose through the organization’s ranks to make his big league debut on May 1, 1987. His first major league homer came on September 14, 1987 in a contest in which the Jays clubbed a big league record 10 round-trippers to defeat the Orioles 18-3.

The talented Canadian suited up for parts of five more seasons with the Jays, prior to being dealt to the Angels in 1992. Tenures with the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies would follow, as well as a two-year stint in the Japanese Pacific League with the Nippon Ham Fighters in 1995 and 1996 that saw him belt 51 home runs. He returned to Toronto for five games in 2000 and saw his final big league action with the Montreal Expos in 2001, making him the second Canadian (along with Denis Boucher) to start his major league career with the Jays and end it with the Expos. Ducey is also one of only four Canadians (Boucher, Shawn Hill and Matt Stairs are the others) to suit up for both the Jays and Expos. In all, Ducey played 19 seasons in professional baseball, making him one of just 12 Canadians to do so. 

Following his professional career, Ducey competed for Canada at the 2004 Olympics and served as a coach at the 2006 World Baseball Classic and 2008 Olympics. He has also been a scout for the Blue Jays and is currently working in player development for a Mexican League team.
