Enjoy the game, Don.
Here's hoping for a walk-off rouge!

They traded for Jackie Parker instead, which made sense in 1963, but Parker was a has-been by then, and Lancaster - well, what might have been.

Indeed. As I like to say, Argos history is Toronto history. Pick any significant event in Toronto's history prior to 1970, and there will be an Argos angle to it.

Boer War: served yes/died no. Soldier Bill Grant, who also served in WW1 and was an Argonaut for ten years, served in South Africa, as did Alec Sinclair.
Korea: served yes/died no. End Bob Heck, a US import, was an Argo when he was drafted, and earned two purple hearts in Korea as a Marine.

Fascinating. I daresay there were others among the casualties from the Hamilton Tigers, the Ottawa Rough Riders, the Winnipeg teams, and the Montreal AAA team (rooted in anglophone Montreal). You can readily appreciate the power of the detonation when the news hit all these cities at once.

Yes indeed. Three Argonauts were killed there on the same day: Binkley, by a shellstrike on the reserve lines; Bill Jarvis, by a sniper; and Longboat Taylor, by gas.

Yes, that was my dumb mistake.
