Way to go, Hawk!
Today, I was proud to present the Governor’s Medal of Freedom to Baseball Hall of Famer and great Floridian Andre Dawson. His distinguished career in Major League Baseball, his contributions to the sport, and his lasting impact on our state have earned him this award.
From his childhood in Southwest Miami, to his college days at FAMU, to his legendary MLB career, “The Hawk” has represented Florida in the best possible way for decades. His generous support of FAMU and its baseball program has helped generations of student-athletes succeed. The Governor’s Medal of Freedom is the highest honor I can bestow on any Floridian, and Andre Dawson truly deserves this recognition.

On 45th anniversary of Blue Monday, I repeat: if the Expos ever return, Steve Rogers, brilliant down the stretch in '81 (ask Steve Carlton), should throw the ceremonial first pitch.

Roberto Clemente wasn’t just a hero to Puerto Rico but to all of us. He spoke on behalf of Latin American players and of people. He was the light at the end of the tunnel for all of us, and I’m here because of him.
We should all understand that baseball goes beyond the sport we play.
Match d'ouverture à domicile/ home opener 2001. When a returning @TimRaines30 stepped into the batter's box for the first time.
Wow. Des frissons.

A moment of silence for Jacques Doucet 💙❤️🇨🇦
We join the MLB community and our colleagues at @TVASports in extending our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Jacques Doucet.
The ‘Voice of Baseball’ in Quebec and a Canadian Baseball Hall of Famer - his impact on the game and the Montreal Expos will be remembered forever.

Sa voix 🎙️ aura accompagné des milliers d'amateurs de baseball ⚾ au Québec pendant plus de 30 ans. Le descripteur des Expos de Montréal, Jacques Doucet, s'est éteint à l'âge de 86 ans. 🕊️

Mon professeur et mentor nous a quitté aujourd’hui. Merci Jacques pour ta générosité et gentillesse et surtout l’influence que tu as eu sur ma carrière de descripteur. Mes sympathies à sa conjointe Corrie et toute la famille.

À partir de 2017, @ExposFest a été invité à faire venir d’anciens joueurs des Expos dans le cadre des célébrations d’avant-match des Blue Jays au Stade olympique. En 2019, j’ai insisté pour que Jacques fasse partie de ces célébrations. C’est nous qui a fait produire les chandails de tous les joueurs, et j’en ai fait préparer un spécialement pour Jacques. Lorsque le moment est venu de choisir son numéro, la décision semblait évidente, le numéro 33, représentant ses 33 années comme la voix des Expos. Lorsque j’ai remis le chandail à Jacques, il s’est retourné vers moi avec un sourire et m’a dit : « Larry ne sera-t-il pas jaloux? » Jacques a été photographié des centaines de fois ce soir-là avec ce chandail. Topps a même utilisé une de ces photos pour une carte de baseball. Je suis heureux qu’il ait reçu l’honneur et l’attention qu’il méritait tant. Nos conversations vont me manquer. Son savoir incroyable va me manquer. Mais surtout , c’est l’homme qui va me manquer.

Condoléances aux parents et amis de Jacques Doucet. Il a partagé sa passion pour le baseball avec les auditeurs et téléspectateurs avec un professionnalisme exceptionnel. Merci pour tous ces beaux moments passés avec nous.
Salut Jacques…

Dear @baseballhall, I think I speak for all Quebec baseball fans when I say how disappointed we are that Jacques Doucet, who passed away today, never got to see his name be inducted in the hall.
Despite letters I wrote to the committee years ago speaking of Jacques health, all I got in return was a letter saying my message would be passed along to Frank C. Frick voters.
Not to take anything away from all the other members who were recently voted in, I don't think any of them invented a baseball vocabulary in another language, in order to make sure french canadiens could understand the intricacies of the game. Some of them are still active today, what was the rush?
He held the mic on french radio/tv here for over 50 years calling Expos, Blue Jays and Capitales games.
Everyone knows how worthy he is of his spot in the hall, that there is no doubt. But to have waited this long and to still have not recognized him, is a shame.
I know he will find his way in some day, cause his resume speaks for itself, but it would have been much better had he lived to see it.
Special note for Rodger Brulotte, who according to me, also deserves his spot in the hall. The Expos might be gone, but it's up to you to keep our history alive.
