There is Good in the World: Sal's Pals Live On in Canada
Once every couple decades there are events that bring the world together and we like to report on these events every couple of months. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, the Beatles came to America, Bob Dylan plugged in at Newport, Michael Jackson gave us Black or White, Stallone gave the world Rocky V.
Today, the Sal's Pals phenomenon has reached the Great White North. Our cold, hockey-watching neighbors have shown us love today.
I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be just another gloomy Tuesday, then I found this email in my inbox.
Just wanted to send my regards and let you know that the dream that is "Sal's Pals" lives on in Toronto. Our numbers are growing faster than the "fu" itself and we are ready to cheer on our hero. In fact, we were there on Saturday for Sal's historic first appearance with the Blue Jays and he was great! He didn't hit a home run (all he ever did in Syracuse) but he did take one for the team and
eventually score (how utterly Sal of him).I've sent along some shots.
Thanks very much,
Phil
Sal's Pals Canada
They are certainly not up to the caliber of the original Sal's Pals, but a torch has been passed. It's a great day. The five o'clock shaddow on my face came in at about 9:00 am this morning and I'll be damned if the sun is not shining a bit brighter on the world.
A few more shots of Sal's Pals: Canadian Chapter after the jump.

That is fucking incredible.
Sal's Pals have returned. Remember when the lame-ass Yankees made him shave off the Fu?
Silly Yankees.

Hilarious opening sentence. This is the best news i've heard in a while. There's gotta be a way he can cash in on his fame once his playing days are over. People will begin to recognize his star power.

The Jays come to Philly May 18-20, hopefully Sal will still be on the active roster so that we can pay our respects to him....somehow I doubt that there will be a Sal Fasano video tribute on Phanovision though...

He'll be there May 18-20, Zaun is out 6-8 weeks so Sal will be suited up. Oh by the way, good waste of a 1st pick Eagles! F**K DA Eagles!

Sal got his first hit as a Blue Jay yesterday in a 7-6 11 inning lose. I'll be making the trip down to Philly to watch the Jays-Phillies. Where can I get Philly's best cheese steak??

In my opinion, the best Cheesesteaks are at Jims on the corner of 4th and south street. Good shit.
