Congratulations to Scott Thorman (AAA Richmond Braves, 1B), Pete Orr!™ (Washington Nationals, utility IF), and Chris Reitsma (former Atlanta Braves RP)! They've been selected to represent Canada in the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing. Woo, Thor and Pete Orr!™ :) As for Reitsma...I didn't know he was still around. Hmm. Well, good luck to him too.

That's great for them!
Why Canada though?
All three are Canadian.
That is awesome for them.
But, I do have a question. Is there a reason Orr has a trademark on his name?
It's the exclamation point, really. Not many people get excited about Pete Orr, but I think he's fascinating, for some reason. The exclamation point is the written version of the way I say his name -- it's sort of a cheer, and there's a non-obscene hand motion that goes along with it.
Aah, gotcha. I always liked Pete, too. I think it's just because we're the same age (and he's cute). But, the business part of baseball (trades, releasing players, etc.) is one aspect I've never been able to get used to. I get too attached :)
