I guess I never realized Burke was actually pretty good. Had a nice little trip down Baseball Reference here.

It's odd this card is only in French, the Leaf parallel sets for Canada were in both languages, not just French. I have no idea what this is beyond the obvious 'some sort of test', but it's really cool.

I would assume as this is a Montreal card that it was created for a stadium giveaway.

Seems like Montreal's version of Dave Stieb... the Canadians get no love sadly

This was around the era when Topps was doing UK releases, maybe Donruss was considering doing a set release in France? That would explain why the card is in French only (anything Canadian should be in English and French). And it may explain why they tested it on an Expos player, the obvious first choice for a team of interest in France.

Just pure speculation on my part.
