My wife is Canadian. Baseball isn’t really a thing in most of Canada. Her home village (population 300) in northern Alberta had a curling rink, but no basketball hoops or baseball diamonds.

Canada used to have two baseball teams. The Montreal Expos moved after they couldn’t even get a local TV station to carry the games. Internet only in the era of 56K modems.

Just as all those U.S. teams that win the Stanley Cup has a plurality of Canadians on the rosters, the Blue Jays is comprised mostly of Americans (2/3rds) and only one Canadian (Joey Votto).

Ooops. Votto retired last year after a long career, batting .143 for the AAA Buffalo Bisons. ZERO Canadians on the Blue Jays.
