Tell ‘em, Connor 🥹 ⬇️
At the end the game, as fans were leaving the Tokyo Dome, starting pitcher Connor MacDonald was the last to leave the field.
He was standing there alone, staring at the scoreboard, soaking it in. He looked proud.
This social media writer went to ask Connor how he was feeling. This is what he said.
Thought it may be appropriate to post the whole quote. Take it away, Connor…
“Oh, I don’t really even know how to describe it, mate.
I’m just proud, proud of all my teammates. I’m just proud to be Australian.
[One of my] brothers bought a flight yesterday to come over to see this. And, like…my family’s everything to me. My wife and two boys are here, my mum and dad, my brothers are here, my uncle, my sister-in-law.
It was so close to a fairytale. So close.
I’ll tell you what, mate. I’m sick and tired hearing back home that when you tell someone that we play baseball, that people are shocked and say ‘Oh, we play baseball in Australia?”
I mean, we do.
Look, we freaking out-hit the best team in the world. We led through 6 innings and we still get asked if we play baseball in Australia.
My freaking teammates, man…I’m just so proud to be a part of the Australian baseball community. You know, we punch so much about our weight.
So just tonight, I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.
And tomorrow’s the day, right? Like that’s the big game.
It’s bittersweet because we lost by one run to the best team in the world but we also should take pride in the fact we could have beat them.
So, I think the boys are just going to take that punch and use that for confidence tomorrow.”

Dhaliwal doesn't think Canucks can get a 1st round pick for Garland.
Maybe can get two 2nds or a 2nd and 3rd.
Bruins, Isles and CBJ have checked in.
Mentions Canucks are asking for top prospects around the league but other teams are saying No.
