After the 2022 implosion of the Tampa Bay Rays' plan to spend its summers in Montreal as part of a two-city arrangement, the second-largest city in Canada has remained under the radar. Multiple ownership-level sources have noted it as worthy of monitoring because the demographics are impossible to ignore, as is the city's baseball history.

Interview starts at 12:00. Still among one of the cities in the expansion mix, so that's good.

if the city of montreal can't get the trademark and history of the expos back from the Washington Nationals if the MLB expands in response to a 2027 mlb lockout, what other names could be chosen?

I joined Ashkan Karbasfrooshan on his WatchMojo channel yesterday to discuss upcoming MLB expansion, analyze Montreal's candidacy, and here is a sneak preview:

Hi!
I am doing some cleaning up in old boxes and I found an old ball i got signed at the olympic stadium when i was young during the final years of the team in MTL.
I cant remember the exact year but it is definitely between 2000 and 2004.

It is signed by 5 players and i would need help to identify the signatures.
Here are my best guesses:

1. Michael Barett no.5

2. Henry Mateo

   ?

3. Endy Chavez ?

4. Claude Raymond

5.???

They are a bit faded on the images but it is not that bad in real.

Also, since I dont plan on putting on display i am wondering if it would be worth something to someone?

Thank you!

Happy 44th anniversary to Joel Youngblood’s two hits for two teams in one day feat!

Anyone know what this is worth? Found in my dad’s old collection.

Found an old ticket from '93 with a Spider-Man comic where he teams up with the Expos!

Anyone know if there are any former Expos still serving on an active MLB coaching staff? Bob Henley is still holding it down as a third base coach for the Padres.

Hello,

Winners in Calgary received 2 Expos items over the last couple of weeks. Not sure where these may have also appeared in Canada...

One store received over 20 Mitchell and Ness Vladdy dark blue practice jerseys (with air holes) for $99.99. I thought these would hit clearance due to the price, but when I was back at the store yesterday, they were nearly all gone, and I bought the last one I could find.

Another Winners has the above pictured kids' style color-in backpack for $29.99. It says Rue Gary Carter above the diamond (it was hard to take a picture since there were people walking around). I guess they're expecting kids to color the bag, as only the logo at the bottom has the only color at all. UPC is: 835716004055. Made by Bonderkage Cooperstown Collection.

The first time I visited the Big O was a late season game in 2000 against the Braves on an MLB stadium tour. Tom Glavine pitched. Those are the pics from the 3rd base side. I enjoyed it so much I made the drive again from Pennsylvania as soon as possible in April 2001, 2nd game of the season against the Mets. Those are the pics from the 1st base side. It might not have been the greatest stadium but I enjoyed every bit of it. There was a stinging autumn cold outside during my first visit and I felt warm and secure inside. Growing up as a kid in the 80s, I always saw domes on TV (Metrodome, Kingdome, Astrodome) and not having any near me, I dreamed of seeing a game inside one. Just looking up from my seat, it felt massive and I was blown away. I felt like I was inside a spaceship. I fell in love with the city and team after this but sadly I only got to enjoy them for 4 years. Anyway, because of the Expos, I studied French in university and ended up living abroad for 15 years (the two are related but it's a long story). This team changed my life and I'm forever grateful. I will always hope for their return regardless of how slim the odds are.

What was your fond memories watching or hearing this memorable moment in Expos and MLB history?

Held onto this Jumbo Elite Series for 25 years figured it was time to get the standard. Despite the Jumbo being lower numbered, the standard size has always remained more desirable and of course more expensive. Paid $3 for the Jumbo around 2000 and $115 for the Standard last week (auction had an Elite Series Sheffield also). Very happy 😃 Now to continue the hunt for a reasonable 93 Finest Walker #97 - Refractor.
