I didn't know he was Canadian.

Yeah, I think he's from the state of Washington.

From Seattle according to his wikithang... I wonder if he'll wear a batting helmet on his plaque. Congrats to him, one of my favorites from that era.

I was attempting to be funny, but I guess I whiffed. It's basically the same thing as Pele being in the US soccer hall of fame.

I loved Olerud during his time with the Mets. I made a sign for him (one of the few I've made in my life) way back when. It was something like "Go Olerud! The Quiet Riot!" I remember thinking it was super clever and I would get on TV and the name would take off. It didn't.

Along with his unanimous election into the Litigious Neighbor Hall of Fame, Olerud's name is real hot right now.

No I was making a reference to Centerfield's banner. Soupy had the ice-rink thing, I think
