Also from Victoria BC...and had the Mariners signed Rich Harden, it's entirely possible that the whole Cliff Lee deal never gets properly started.
You're right though - pretty weird, considering the only other baseball player of note that I can think of off the top of my head from around these parts would be Larry Walker. Oh, and the relief pitcher, believe his first name was Jeff, Zimmerman (although obviously not in the same category as a Walker, Harden or even Bay).
