St. Marys - A significant Canadian moment will occur in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, as Larry Walker will become the all-time leader in career Major League games played by a Canadian when the Dodgers host the Rockies that evening.

Walker, who already tops all Canadians in career homeruns (310), hits (1,705), RBI (1,032), runs scored (1,060), will move ahead of Terry Puhl when he takes the field for the 1,532nd time on Saturday. Jack Graney, Jeff Heath, and George "Moon" Gibson round out the top five. FYI, Hall-of-Famer Fergie Jenkins leads all Canadians in wins (284), and games pitched (664).
