The Canadian Press reports..."A news release from the Calgary Vipers, a minor league professional baseball team, suggested Fleury, who has Stanley Cup rings and an Olympic gold medal from a career which included stints with the Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks, was going to attempt to make the team and live a boyhood dream.
The story drummed up memories of NBA superstar, Michael Jordan, who left the Chicago Bulls and signed a minor league baseball contract for a short-lived career with the Chicago White Sox.
But the story turned out only to be a very good publicity stunt.
Fleury will be throwing out an opening pitch and at some point could be getting a chance to play for a couple of innings."
...good to see Fleury is doing well. If he gets a couple of hits maybe the Mets would be interested in signing him. God knows they need a spark in that locker room.
