Photo of the Day: Martin loves all Canadian baseball
Catcher Russell Martin was born in Toronto and raised in Quebec, so it's not surprising to learn he's a proud Canadian -- so proud, in fact, he returned to America's neighbor to the north this offseason after signing a contract with the Blue Jays.
In addition to repping for his new MLB club, Martin also gave a Twitter shoutout to a piece of Canadian baseball history -- the Montreal Expos:
