Willie Canate

  • Once was on third base with less than two out, and there was a grounder hit in the infield. The third-base coach shouted, "Stop" or something very similar, but Canate didn't understand English and thought he was being told to run. He did and was thrown out very easily at home.
  • The Jays put him on the DL in 1993 with an "intestinal disorder", and it was reported in the the Star that he was in the clubhouse eating a big bag of Fritos.
  • When Rickey Henderson injured his foot, did Canate pinch-run for him?
