Great Canadians. Larry Walker.

 

Nice card with his career Expo stats.

 Hard to believe a gold glove winner in RF was first thought of as a 1B.

 Larry was a hockey goalie before deciding on baseball.

Definitely one of Canada's Finest. I think Larry probably had another 2-3 decent productive years left in him, which would definitely help his HOF chances. As it is, I think he'll get in. Despite the park factor from playing in Colorado, his numbers are just too good.

Great Canadians. Terry Puhl.

The pride of Melville, Saskatchewan, Terry spent 14 seasons as an Astro, and one final season in KC with the Royals. He was signed and released in between by the Mets.

Probably best remembered as an excellent defensive outfielder, Terry was a useful if not powerful hitter with a career OPS+ of 112. His career numbers were greatly affected by playing in the Astrodome.

Terry never lead the league in a single offensive category, and made only one all star team. He walked about as much as he struck out, and had some speed, although his SB% wasn't good enough to justify trying to steal.

I recall that during any Astros game I ever saw with him playing, a point was always made to state that he was from Canada.

Great Canadians. John Hiller.

There aren't a ton of major leaguers from Canada, but a lot of them have been very good. Not surprising that there's been an increase lately, as the generation that grew up watching the Blue Jays winning the World Series is reaching the bigs.

Born: April 8, 1943 in Toronto, Ontario, CAN

Random stat. Hiller's ERA+ in 1973 was 286. That's just freaking incredible.

Hiller played 15 seasons, all for Detroit. He famously missed the entire 1971 season after suffering a heart attack, but came back from that as a better pitcher than he was before.
