NoHoJoe Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 There is speculation that the Mets and Cardinals will play an exhibition game next year in Montreal to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Major League baseball debuting in Canada. It would be fitting for the Mets and Cards to play becasue the Mets were the first- and sadly the last- team the expos faced (both times at Shea) and the Cardinals were the first home opponent in Jarry Park. The Mets would wear the Expos home white jerseys while the Cards wear the visiting colors. MON AMOURS SIEMPRE!!!! BRING BASEBALL BACK TO MONTREAL!!!! MON AMOURS SIEMPRE!!

NoHoJoe Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 The Mets. Really? Were they not the divsion rivals of the Expos for 35 years? Why aren't the Nationals doing this? 1. For starters, Minaya was the last GM for the Expos, and Manual once played with the Expos.2. Remember Rusty Staub, Le Grand Orange, who played with both the Expos and Mets.3. The Dodgers, as you may or may not know, had a AAA Farm club from 1928-1960 Called the Montreal Royales. Jackie Robinson was on that team before becoming a Brooklyn Dodgers.

DarkJourney Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Why bother. The Expos are gone. Why celebrate the 40th anniversary when they don't exist anymore!!!!!!!!!!! Dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 How many people do they expect to draw to this game? I wouldn't think many people in Montreal would come out to see it based on how MLB shafted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Why bother. The Expos are gone. Why celebrate the 40th anniversary when they don't exist anymore!!!!!!!!!!! DumbThat's a good point. What's the purpose of celebrating what could have been? But really, it ain't no different to what Expos fans have always done, like constantly bragging about being the best team in Baseball in 1994, when they never really won the world series...nor did they even get the chance to do so.It's too bad because if they had won it, I might have ended up being a baseball fan.

Brian in Boston Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 The Dodgers, as you may or may not know, had a AAA Farm club from 1928-1960 Called the Montreal Royales. Jackie Robinson was on that team before becoming a Brooklyn Dodgers.Actually, the Dodgers farm team was the Montreal Royals. The Montreal Royales were a franchise in the Canadian Baseball League. Further, though the second International League incarnation of the Royals operated from 1928 to 1960, the team served as a Dodgers farm team from 1939 to 1960. From 1939 through 1945 the International League carried a designation of AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
