A long time ago, we wondered what a mythical all-Canadian team would look like lumped together clad in red and white.
Our first Canada Day lineup was selected the day the Boston Red Sox trio of Rolando Arrojo, Rod Beck and Derek Lowe blanked the Blue Jays and Chris Carpenter 4-0 on two hits (singles by Shannon Stewart and Alex Gonzalez) in 2001.
The Canuck lineup that year may have had more pop than the Jays displayed that day with the likes of Larry Walker, Matt Stairs, Corey Koskie and Rob Ducey, to go with arms such as Ryan Dempster, Chris Reitsma, Eric Gagne, Paul Quantrill and Rheal Cormier.
