Talk:Joris Bert

From BR Bullpen

Aren't Bruce Bochy and Charlie Lea French? --MichaelEng (talk) 16:02, 15 June 2007 (EDT)

They could have been born in French and not be citizens. I'm unclear what criteria is being used but I've seen the Bert factoid in several English websites as well as the French one. - --Mischa 16:50, 15 June 2007 (EDT)

What was the citizenship status of the players at the time of being drafted? Could Bochy and Lea have been U.S. citizens while Bert is still a French citizen? --Jeff 16:53, 15 June 2007 (EDT)

Neither Bochy nor Lea were French; they were both born in France of American parents, likely servicemen. --Philippe 09:56, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

Baseball in Europe also says Bert was the "first Frenchman" to be picked in the MLB amateur draft. - --Mischa 13:20, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
