I was not complaining. And it's not "too many of the players" that are not
Canadians, that's ALL of them but 1 maybe, I don't know (as I said, the
Jays are not my team :) ). I know that in Montreal the only Canadian
player in the team is Larry Walker.

And the issue was about being or not being proud of being Canadian because
the Jays won, not about being proud of the Jays. I'm quite pleased that
the Jays overcame their choking syndrome. (I know Expos never did while
they had excellent teams in the '80s. Well in fact they quite rarely had
the occasion to "choke"...  ;) )

Furthermore, it was Toronto against Atlanta, not Canada against
US. Toronto is not Canada's team. You forget the other Canadian team, the
Expos. (named after the 1967's International Exposition in Montreal.
Stupid name but anyway... :)  )

>so WE could win!  Way to go!

Well, like I said, it's not SOME but ALL of the players who are Americans!
