Played with Andre Dawson. He's not THAT unfamiliar.

 

Gary Carter.

 

Rush referenced Cromartie on the back of their 1982 Signals album cover, FWIW.

 

Two more years and he'll be at the circuit that once again graces us here in Hooterville every six weeks -- like next week.
Sign on the city's marquee mentioned a Canadian wrestler. Or, if you went by the actual spelling -- Canadion..

 

Big whoop. Let me know when Bonds realizes his true calling and signs with WWE.

 

I may be nuts, but didn't he once have something to do with a Wrestlemania?

 

Cromartie became good friends with the band when he played in Japan. If I recall (from his book), Cromartie plays drums. He was hosting a radio show, last I remember.

 

He hosted a talk radio show in Miami in the late '90s.

 

I think Neil Peart was a big 'Spos fan too. Geddy is a huge Jays fan. But Peart wore an old tricolor Expos hat in the "Vital Signs" video.

 

Bonds? No.

Pete Rose did.
