    Eric Cobham and Maria Lindsay

    Tales of swashbuckling pirates have captured audiences from around the globe for centuries. Among them is the story of Eric Cobham and his wife Maria Lindsay. Legend has it that the couple established a base in St. George’s Bay, Newfoundland, from which they attacked ships in the Gulf of St. Lawrence from 1740 to 1760. The couple is then said to have moved to France where they lived in a lavish estate. Cobham became a magistrate and judge while still occasionally committing acts of piracy. Lindsay died under mysterious circumstances and Cobham died in 1780 after allegedly dictating the story of his exploits. However, his memoirs were lost and therefore, the adventures of Cobham and Lindsay can’t be proven. This has led some experts to contend that the couple are nothing more than characters in a pirate tale.

    Éric Gagné

    Éric Serge Gagné, baseball player (born 7 January 1976 in Montreal, QC). Éric Gagné was a dominant relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2002 to 2005. In 2003, he won the National League Cy Young Award as the league’s top pitcher, making him just the second Canadian (after Ferguson Jenkins) and only the ninth reliever ever to receive the honour. Gagné’s streak of 84 consecutive saves from 28 August 2002 to 5 July 2004 remains an MLB record. He enjoyed a 10-year MLB career and twice won the Tip O’Neill Award as the Canadian baseball player of the year. In 2007, with the Boston Red Sox, he became the first player from Quebec to win a World Series. However, Gagne’s reputation was tarnished in December 2007 when he was named in the Mitchell Report as a player who used performance-enhancing drugs.
