Many of you might not care, many of you may not remember, but the expos were awesome and it's a shame they were let go. Here is a documentary that never aired in Canada in 2010 about the team.

Thanks for this!

Thanks for this. I'm going to take some time later toe watch it.

It looks interesting.

Thanks for posting.

I was a diehard Expos fan. Though I support the Jays now, I've never been as passionate about them as I was the Expos.

Jonah Keri is writing a book about the Expos.. though won't be released for another couple of years though.

Around 1995, I got sick of the Jays and rooted for the Expos for a couple months. They were actually a very fun team.

Good post

Thanks for sharing! Grew up a Jays fan and never focused much on the Expos. I never knew the '94 team was THAT good.

Thanks for posting really is to bad what happened to them, amazing how a franchise can be so affected by the smallest of margins. Imagine where the Jays would be had they not won the Series in 92/93 would they still be in Toronto?

Just from the 1st minute, stereotypical Quebecois, me first, selfishness.

I knew the Expos were good, but I didn't know they were that good. I remember they had Randy Johnson too at one point, very good video. Too bad they aren't around no more.

Growing up as a baseball obsessed French kid in Ontario, I was a big fan of both teams. I suppose, if I was really pressed, I would have picked the Jays over the Expos, though. Still, my love for the Expos was undeniable and watching this was really painful.

As a kid, my baseball team was selected for a "sports exchange" where a peewee team from Montreal would visit our small town for a week, we'd play a game and then our team would go to Montreal for a week and get to play a game in Olympic Stadium. The program was sponsored by Charles Bronfman and he sent us a personalized message, which was pretty cool. We got to meet a couple players from the team before playing our game and afterwards, we got to catch an Expos game (we also met the team president/gm at the time). We also did a ton of other organized activities. It's still probably one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I feel like I owe a debt of gratitude to the Expos because their existence made it happen.

Very neat story Mike, thanks for sharing I found it very interesting!

It's amazing what a profound effect professional athletes can have on kids, memories that last a lifetime. I hope the Blue Jays do similar events.
