Montreal Expos Follow-Up Story

Bonjour! This is a follow-up story to an entry from March. In 1985, the Montreal Expos outdrew the New York Yankees in fan attendance, I will say it again: The Montreal Expos outdrew the New York Yankees in fan attendance! Some people say it was because the Yankees were one of the worst teams in baseball in '85 and it wasn't because Montreal loves baseball. Here's my problem with that statement: Montreal IS a sports town, they love their sports teams and they care what happens to them. You think I'm lying? 97,000 people showed up at Olympic Stadium for an exhibition game between the Toronto Blue Jays & the New York Mets. They love baseball in Montreal. They are the Canadian equivalent of Seattle Seahawks fans! There has got to be one MLB exec who is thinking "Why are we not in Montreal?" & I hope it's New Commissioner Rob Manfred, who has announced MLB is open to expansion or relocation.
