Talk:Lester B. Pearson

I emailed the stats man for the IBL, wonder if he has the stats for when Pearson played for Guelph. Oaktree_b 22:09, 29 July 2010 (EDT)

-IBL doesn't have stats before 1956, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame doesn't have anything. I've emailed the SABR chapter in Toronto to see if they can help... Oaktree_b 13:59, 7 August 2010 (EDT) -SABR had nothing. I found through Wikipedia and Google that his grand daughter Patricia Pearson is a local journalist and writer. I located her on Facebook and send her a message. Maybe she can add something more? Oaktree_b 23:21, 8 April 2011 (EDT)

• He made LBJ mad when he refused to sent Canadian troops to Vietnam.

To the Johnson administration, this criticism of American foreign policy on US soil was an intolerable sin. Before Pearson had finished his speech, he was summoned to Camp David to meet with Johnson the next day. Johnson, who was notorious for his personal touch in politics, reportedly grabbed Pearson by the lapels and shouted, "Don't you come into my living room and piss on my rug."
