I'm going to go with the slightly obvious and say first game, first win, and last game?

[NJTank]

First game and first win are one in the same

Last Game is also correct

But the third major event is something else

[njmeadowlanders]

They clinched the second half title from 1981--their only ever postseason appearance...at Shea Stadium.

They'd go on to lose to the Dodgers at the hands of Rick Monday in the playoffs...

Last Game is also correct

I am either going to say that

1. The first time "O Canada" was played at a Major League Baseball Game.

2. The ceremonial first pitch was thrown by Jean Drapeau, the Mayor of Montreal, to Jerry Grote.

That was the third key Expo moment at Shea.
