Hockey and baseball
On the way into work today, there was a story on the radio news about how Manny Ramirez of the Boston Red Sox was rumoured to be appearing at a car auction this weekend instead of tending to his sick mother, his reason for not currently attending training camp.
"How is THAT newsworthy?!," my wife asked. "Ah, I said, it's because it's baseball. Clearly, we're not in Canada anymore." Were something similar happening in the NHL, though, I could see it perhaps making the local news somewhere.
If only we could combine hockey and baseball, we might truly have a sport that could appeal to a wider range of North Americans.
But wait! Maybe "Clark, the Canadian hockey goalie" has the answer we never really knew that we've been waiting for....
