242. Tina Weirather

If you are a small country that athletically speaking can only produce alpine skiers, they might as well be cute right?  This is what the good doctor has found in Tina Weirather from the very small nation of Liechtenstein.

241. Laura Ikauniece

Ah the Heptathlon.  This is definitely becoming the good doctor’s favorite sport!  Would you like another reason?  I present to you the lovely Latvian, Laura Ikauniece.
An elite reliever for a few seasons with the Montreal Expos, Jeff Reardon would go to two All-Star Games as an Expo, and he led the National League in Saves in 1985. That season he would win the NL Rolaids Relief Award and would tally 152 Saves in Montreal.
After seven years in Baseball; five with Pittsburgh, and two with the Dodgers, Bob Bailey became an original Montreal Expo, when the expansion team purchased his contract.

Bailey was a good hitter who would three times exceed twenty Home Runs in a season and actually topped over 1.000 in OPS during the 1970 campaign.  He had 791 Hits for Montreal, 118 of which were Home Runs.
