"Tristan Peters of Winkler, Manitoba made history this month, becoming only the second Canadian to hit for the cycle in modern MLB!"

Old news...but forgot he was Canadian. At least he won't be as upset about renaming of Ontario to "Lake America" since he's from the western provinces.

I didn't even have to check to see who made the wildly unrelated political leap.

The leader of the free world cleared his desk to rename a lake (that he has no control over). Therefore it should not be a stretch to believe that every Canadian and American has this issue as their full priority if it’s this important.

"Born in Winkler, Manitoba, about 90 minutes southwest of Winnipeg, at 16 years old Peters made the roughly 13-hour trip west to attend the Dawgs Baseball Academy in Okotoks, Alberta, just south of Calgary. Peters said it was about that time that he realized he might get to play professional baseball someday.

“I think it started just before I moved out, I heard about this guy at Okotoks that was probably going to get drafted out of high school, his name was Clayton Keyes. And sure enough, he did. He turned it down and went to college, but that’s how I got motivated. I was like, ‘I want to do that.’ It didn’t happen in high school for me, so I had to take a little longer path, but it was a good path,” Peters said.

Peters went undrafted out of high school, but his baseball story continued. He started his college career at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Arizona, then transferred to Southern Illinois University before the Brewers selected him in the seventh round of the 2021 draft. Along the way, he returned to Okotoks to play for the program’s summer college league team in the Western Canadian League in 2019."
