Rodger Brulotte, a Canadian broadcasting legend known for his voice for the Montreal Expos, has passed away at the age of 79. He was one of the voices behind Jacques Doucet and Denis Casavant, who later called Toronto Blue Jays games in French. Most recently, he andCasavant were the Blue Jays' official French-language broadcast booth for TVA Sports. During the 2025 Blue Jays’ run, Brulott had to step away from the booth to undergo surgery to remove a tumor from his spine. His signature catchphrase, "Vladimir!" Vladimir! Vladimir! Bonsoir!" was a trademark trademark from a walk-off win in 1989.
