Vladimer Guerrero?: This article from ESPN magazine helps the sports fan get to know one of the best players in the game nobody knows. I've been to a few Expos games, and Guerrero is as much fun to watch as Ichiro, but he's stuck in Canada so nobody gets to see him. Rumor has it that Yankee GM Brian Cashman calls the Expos once a week to find out if he's available, and when Guerrero becomes a free agent Steinbrenner is going to do anything he has to do to sign him.
jbou, thanks for the link. The absence of comments three days later kind of proves the article's point doesn't it? As a Montrealer and Expos fan, I can certify that Vlad is the 8th wonder of the baseball world. I wish we could keep him as our little secret. I wish we could keep our team too, but that's another story...
