It’s amazing how that 1994 strike killed that organization
a generally sad-sack franchise that had a couple superstars for a brief period, somehow the planets aligned and they got a world series.
What could they have been?
Uhh, They’re still playing….
I’m just so glad social media wasn’t around during a time when teams readily moved. Happened way more often than people think. Our societal victim mentality isn’t sad. I’m gen-x
was another stadium situation right?? olympic stadium just wasn’t gonna cut it as an MLB park, and coupled with mismanagement led to baseball rightly returning to Washington…
people are gonna bring up 94 cause that was the best team in baseball, but that slips over just how heartbreaking the 81 NLCS loss was to the dodgers.. Blue Monday still probably stings the locals… and the dodgers won the world series that year too
We need a 2nd MLB and NBA franchise in Canada post haste!
Je me souviens Expos.
Sounds like the current Oakland A’s situation.

Montreal needs zMLB
Marlins shoulda moved to DC instead
Don’t remind me. I absolutely loved the Expos. I’m still angry that they moved.
They could have been… not the Washington Walgreens?
