Quebec’s Mr. Baseball

Laval, Que. - Recently we wrote how three Quebec players -- Édouard Savoie, Félix-Antoine Chénier-Rondeau and Olivier Morin-Larocque. were joining the Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College Golden Norsemen.

NEO is an institution through which many of the best Quebec players have passed.

Doing research to find out how many there had been since I began covering the exploits of our own Quebec players in American universities and colleges … and including the three newest Norsemen there are 30 players in all.

Reading the names, it’s crazy the amount of great memories that come to the surface:
