Gone but not forgotten











































Beautiful Photos of days gone by.

Jarry Park, their first home park until they moved into the Big O.

Celebrating early home runs, and their media guide.

Bob Bailey, Ron Fairly, Boccabella, Le Grand Orange, Mack Jones, Steve Renko and John Bateman. Just some of the early Expos who played for Canada's first expansion team.

They were close in 1994, until the strike shut them down, they had Pedro, and Vladdy, amongst other stars.

The story is a very sad one, through the loss of a World Series birth, the fans never forgave the tea unfortunately. They stopped coming in droves. They turned to other sports and it cost them their fan base.

In 2 official languages, we enjoyed baseball but now they are silent.

I miss having the other Canadian team.
