New sports trivia

- Start date
Blyleven won 287 games, struck out 3,701, had a 3.31 career ERA, 60 shutouts, 1.198 career WHIP and was a two-time World Series champion with 94.5 career WAR. The only guy with comparable numbers who isn't in the HoF is Tommy John.
Blyleven's family moved to Melville, Saskatchewan, when he was two years old before ultimately settling in Garden Grove, California, in 1957 when Bert was five years old.
So he's Canadian.
