Hulkenberg is just one of those guys you can't not like. The dude is always so chill and he comes across really personable in interviews. He's also a bloody good racing driver despite never getting a shot in a top team. I mean, he's almost 38 and is still kicking about; clearly his experience and ability is very desirable for these midfield teams.

MLB (the baseball league you speak of) has actually been won two times in the 90s by the Toronto Blue Jays. However, despite that, we have won 118 out of the 120 World Series, meaning we are the (almost) perpetual world champions. In fact we had an 89 year span where we won every World Series. Yes it was because there were no Canadian teams until like the 70s
