L'origine de la Coupe Pearson<\/strong><\/p>

Les joueurs des Ligues majeures de baseball foulent le sol du Canada pour la premi\u00e8re fois apr\u00e8s une r\u00e9union des propri\u00e9taires des \u00e9quipes de la Ligue nationale tenue en 1968 afin d'\u00e9valuer la candidature d'une \u00e9quipe d'expansion. Montr\u00e9al avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 connu des succ\u00e8s dans le domaine du baseball et d\u00e9montr\u00e9 sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 attirer les foules avec les Royaux de Montr\u00e9al, l'\u00e9quipe affili\u00e9e aux Dodgers de Brooklyn dans les ligues mineures.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement des Royaux \u00e0 Syracuse (NY) en 1960, la ville \u00e9tait pr\u00eate \u00e0 accueillir une nouvelle \u00e9quipe de baseball. La candidature de 1968 est retenue et Montr\u00e9al accueille la premi\u00e8re franchise de la MLB \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur des \u00c9tats-Unis. La toute nouvelle \u00e9quipe, qui \u00e9volue au parc Jarry, est baptis\u00e9e les Expos, en r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 l'Expo 67 qui vient d'avoir lieu dans la ville. Les Expos jouent leur premi\u00e8re saison en 1969 et, pendant huit saisons, ils sont la seule \u00e9quipe des Majeures au nord de la fronti\u00e8re.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Apr\u00e8s avoir assist\u00e9 au succ\u00e8s de Montr\u00e9al, un groupe de politiciens et d'hommes d'affaires torontois a voulu faire venir la MLB \u00e0 Toronto \u00e9galement. La premi\u00e8re tentative d'acquisition des Giants de San Francisco, en janvier 1976, tombe \u00e0 l'eau au dernier moment. Les amateurs qui attendent l'arriv\u00e9e de l'\u00e9quipe qui sera connue sous le nom des Giants de Toronto sont d\u00e9\u00e7us, mais pas pour longtemps. En mars de la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, la candidature de Toronto \u00e0 l'obtention d'une \u00e9quipe d'expansion de la Ligue am\u00e9ricaine est accept\u00e9e. Le 7 avril 1977, les Blue Jays de Toronto jouent leur premier match dans un Exhibition Stadium enneig\u00e9 et remportent la premi\u00e8re victoire de leur franchise contre les White Sox de Chicago. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Avec deux \u00e9quipes canadiennes, l'une dans la Ligue am\u00e9ricaine et l'autre dans la Ligue nationale, il est logique qu'il y ait une rivalit\u00e9 entre les deux. Malheureusement, les matchs interligues (matchs entre les \u00e9quipes de l'Am\u00e9ricaine et de la Nationale qui comptent pour le classement) n'existent pas encore et les deux \u00e9quipes ne se rencontrent donc jamais pendant la saison r\u00e9guli\u00e8re. Les groupes de propri\u00e9taires des \u00e9quipes ont imagin\u00e9 un concours de mi-saison qui mettrait aux prises les deux \u00e9quipes canadiennes dans un match amical, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 baptis\u00e9 la Coupe Pearson.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
