Answer: Their Uncle is the late Ed Kea, who played 10 years in the NHL as a defenceman divided between the Atlanta Flames and the St. Louis Blues. Those of you who are as old(or older) than me may remember him as a solid and reliable defenceman who didn't shy away from rough play. Unfortunately, his life took a tragic turn which you can read about in the link below.

So that would make them cousins. Wow, did not know that. I don't know who Ed Kea is, definitely before my time.

Who am I?

I am the first and only Canadian baseball player to compete in three different editions of the Under-18 World Cup, at ages 15, 16 and 18.

I was the first Major League Baseball player to have five base hits in his first five postseason plate appearances.

I am the first Canadian-born player to hit a postseason Home Run against the Toronto Blue Jays.

I am a two-time winner of the Tip O'Neill Award, presented annually by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum to the best Canadian baseball player.

I was selected 12th overall by the Miami Marlins in the first round of the MLB amateur Draft before my 18th birthday, but I never played for 'the fish' at the Major League level.


One of my brothers and one of my cousins played Major League Baseball during the 2025 season.

This question was inspired by the newest Maple Leaf sensation Bo Groulx, who was born in France.
Who is the career point leader in NHL history of players who were born in France?
