A. Upmalis) Distribution: net Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 18 Summary: Rod Carew about two weeks ago talked about hitting #3000 on the road, he thought would be ok, except he hoped it wasn't in Canada. Maybe he was joking and maybe he wasn't, I don't know but the Herald-Tribune (the Califonia paper i think) and it was mentioned in the Toronto paper (Carew inults Canada). Now apparently Carew said it was a joke, but he is't talking to the media anymore. I do feel a bit insulted, much because Canada has had its role to play in baseball, there are a few Canadians in the Hall of Fame. Babe Ruth hit his first home run in Toronto in the International league and the two International league teams in Toronto and Montreal have seen there fair share of major league talent.
