Griff's Conversation: Rodger Brulotte

Famous for iconic "Bonsoir, elle est partie" home run call we talk all things Expos

Still going strong as a French-language baseball broadcaster for TVA and columnist for Le Journal de Montreal, Rodger Brulotte joined Griff’s Conversations for a wide-ranging, behind the scenes look at the Montreal Expos.

For years, Rodger’s unique home run calls have received huge airplay across North America. Excited and drawn out, “Bonsoir, elle est partie” delivered as if each homer was Game 7 of a World Series. But Brulotte was far more than that over 36 years of the Expos. Rodger had early duties in scouting, PR, marketing, promotions, then as traveling secretary and a TV/Radio star. Brulotte joins Griff’s Conversation with stories of Pebble Beach, Youppi, a young Celine Dion and much more.
