Two (OK, three) tidbits about Terry Puhl

December 9, 2022 By Kevin Glew Cooperstowners in Canada In the summer of 2020, I started what I had hoped would be a regular feature called "Two tidbits about Terry Puhl." I wrote four blog entries within about seven months and then got sidetracked with other projects, but I wanted to resurrect this feature because... Continue Reading →

August 24, 1993: Kevin Reimer becomes first Canadian to register six hits in a MLB game

It would’ve been understandable if Kevin Reimer was too exhausted to savour the fact that he had just made Canadian baseball history. After all, on August 24, 1993, when the left-handed hitting slugger became the first and only Canadian to record six hits in a major league game, he accomplished this in a grueling, extra-inning...

But What Do I Know? . . . Jim Adduci, Nolan Ryan, Shawn Hill

[twitter-follow screen_name='coopincanada'] My weekly look at some Canadian baseball stories: - Call it the Cooperstowners in Canada jinx, but after I wrote about Burnaby, B.C., native Jim Adduci's three-hit performance for the Texas Rangers in his club's 12-0 victory on April 18, the 28-year-old Canadian was placed on the disabled list the following day.
