Finally, some kind of award

After being ignored by the baseball writers Jason Bay has been honored by his countrymen as the best Canadian player in the bigs, the second straight year he's taken home the Tip O'Neill award. There really wasn't much competition with Gagne injured though. Ryan Dempster finished second. That only puts him seven behind Larry Walker in the all-time standings.

"It's obviously nice to be recognized by your country," said Bay. "Most Canadians are very patriotic, and I'm no different."

Now that's what I'm talking aboot.
