I once heard that Rusty Staub was a venereal disease.

It's fitting that's it's the Alouettes' that signed Sam.

Everyone knows the French ditty, "Alouette, gentile Alouette." Here's the French lyrics, and then the English translation..

Alouette, gentille alouette, Alouette, je te plumerai.

Je te plumerai la tête. (x2) Et la tête! Et la tête! Alouette! Alouette! A-a-a-ah

Lark, nice lark, Lark, I will pluck you.

I will pluck your head. (x2) And your head! And your head! Lark! Lark! O-o-o-oh

It gets progressively worse....

[IrishBrigade]

Perhaps he can live in the former home of La Grand Orange.

ah, the fond memories of Rusty Staub, (with the Mets, not the Expos)...

[Dartman]

If that’s what Wikipedia says, then it must be true.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Update, Sam has left the team for personal reasons to go home. Not sure from the article whether this is just a temporary thing or gone for good.
