The Major League Baseball playoffs are just around the corner. And fall dancing means Rodger Brulotte on TVA Sports.
But that may not be the case this year. The much-loved baseball analyst will be taking a professional break for a few weeks, following a surgical procedure he underwent last Sunday.

The 78-year-old underwent back surgery, which will be accompanied by a period of convalescence at home, and he has indicated that, during his recovery, he will not be available.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
Rodger had to leave the studio in the middle of a game last week due to back problems. He was replaced at short notice by Karl Gélinas.
The story doesn't say whether the flamboyant commentator will be able to describe the World Series live from the two cities involved, since it's TVA Sports that will have the privilege of broadcasting the Fall Classic on location this year, or whether it's Gélinas or another analyst who will accompany Denis Casavant to the United States (or to Toronto if the Blue Jays accomplish this feat).
