Franchise history

Montreal's cap logo

Creation of the franchise

In 1960 Montreal lost its International League team, the Montreal Royals (an affiliate of the former Brooklyn Dodgers). The move to get a new team for the city was the result of the seven-year-long effort of councilman Gerry Snyder of Snowdon. On December 2, 1967 he presented a bid for a Montreal franchise to Major League Baseball's team owners that was accepted on May 27, 1968.^[1] After prominent Montreal businessman Jean-Louis Lévesque withdrew his support, Snyder convinced Charles Bronfman, a major shareholder in the world-wide Seagram distilling empire, to lend his considerable weight to the project and provide the funding guarantees required. Bronfman purchased the majority of the shares and was Chairman of the Board of Directors. The other investors and founding directors included Vice-Chairmen Lorne Webster and Paul Beaudry, plus Sidney Maislin, Hugh G.

The Expos had to overcome another obstacle before they could take the field: they had to find a home ballpark. Delorimier Stadium, the former home of the Montreal Royals, was rejected as too small, even for temporary use. Team officials initially settled on the Autostade, but city officials balked at the cost of adding a dome (thought necessary because of Montreal's often cold temperatures in April and September) and 12,000 seats. By August 1968, the league was threatening to withdraw the franchise. National League president Warren Giles and Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau visited Jarry Park, a 3,000-seat ballfield in the city's northwest corner, and decided that it could be a suitable temporary facility. Within six months, the park was transformed into a 28,500-seat makeshift facility, saving the franchise. Delorimier Stadium on the cover of the 1949 Montreal Royals program Delorimier Stadium was a 20,000-seat sports stadium at Delorimier Avenue and Ontario Street in downtown Montreal, Canada that was home to the Montreal Royals International League baseball team from 1928 to 1960 and from 1946 to 1953...

Social impact of the Expos

Montreal in the 1960s was seeing its international profile being raised considerably. The 1967 World's Fair, called Expo 67 was a success, and the city soon won the bid for the 1976 Summer Olympics. The city also opened a new subway system, the Montreal Metro. This string of achievements was capped by the winning of one of the four expansion franchises awarded by Major League Baseball for 1969.^[3].

The Montreal Expos were the first franchise awarded to a Canadian city by a major league organization originating in the United States. It was considered a huge step for the city of Montreal, the province of Quebec, the nation of Canada, and Major League Baseball. One of the challenges for French-language broadcasters was inventing a whole new lexicon to describe the game to fans. ^[4] The Expos inspired MLB to add a second Canadian team, the Toronto Blue Jays, in 1977.

The strike hurt the team's campaign for a new stadium, and the local ownership did not choose to invest additional funds to retain the best players on the team.

The final decade

In 1995, Claude Brochu instructed general manager Kevin Malone to release the team's major stars. Larry Walker left as a free agent, and as the Expos had not offered him salary arbitration, they did not receive any compensation for Walker's departure. John Wetteland was traded to the New York Yankees, Ken Hill to the St. Louis Cardinals, and Marquis Grissom to the Atlanta Braves.^[11] Many of the leading players said, in retrospect, that they would have been willing to take pay-cuts in order to return in 1995 and compete once again for the World Series.^{[citation needed]} On ESPN, Larry Walker asked rhetorically, "I was willing to take a cut to keep the team together, but I was never offered a contract.

The major overhaul after the 1994 season damaged the franchise and disheartened its fan base. Kevin Malone resigned as general manager in October, 1995, saying "I'm in the building business, not in the dismantling business."^[18] Moisés Alou and Mel Rojas left as free agents after the 1996 season,^[19] and Pedro Martínez was traded after the 1997 season, shortly after winning the Cy Young Award.^[20] Moisés Rojas Alou (born July 3, 1966 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Dominican American All-Star outfielder in Major League Baseball who plays for the New York Mets. ...

Purchase by Jeffrey Loria

On December 9, 1999, American art dealer Jeffrey Loria became the Expos' chairman, CEO, and managing general partner.^[23] Loria made his initial splash by signing Graeme Lloyd for $3,000,000,^[24] and acquiring Hideki Irabu's $4,125,000 contract^[25] and Lee Stevens's $3,500,000 contract^[26] in trades.^[23] The total sum of these contracts was nearly 50% of the 1999 payroll.^[27] Jeffrey H.

Loria subsequently lost a considerable amount of goodwill by failing to sign television and English radio broadcast contracts for the 2000 season, as the team tried to increase their revenue from the broadcast rights.^[28]

During the 2000 season, Loria modified the existing plans for a new ballpark in downtown Montreal (which was to be called Labatt Park), demanding more public funding. However, the municipal and provincial governments vetoed public funding; Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard said that he couldn't in good conscience allow public funding for a new stadium when the province was being forced to close hospitals. In addition, Olympic Stadium still hadn't been paid for (and wouldn't be paid for until 2006). As a result, the plans for the proposed downtown ballpark fell through.^[28] Labatt Park Labatt Park is also a ballpark in London, Ontario. ...

Attendance in the 2001 season dropped to fewer than 10,000 per game, and consequently the future of the franchise in Montreal was called into question. On November 6, 2001, the Major League Baseball franchise owners voted 28–2 to contract MLB by two teams — according to various sources, the Montreal Expos and the Minnesota Twins, both of which reportedly voted against contraction.^[29] Year 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday (link displays the 2001 Gregorian calendar). ... is the 310th day of the year (311th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Purchase by Major League Baseball

On December 20, 2001, the Boston Red Sox were sold to a partnership led by John W. Henry, the owner of the Florida Marlins. The purchase was approved by the MLB owners in January.^[30][29] Henry sold the Marlins to Loria and the MLB owners approved the sale on February 1, 2002 — prior to the signing of an official contract between Loria and Henry — in order to clear the way for Henry's group to formally take control of the Red Sox. The Major League Baseball owners voted 30-0 to form a Delaware partnership, Expos Baseball, LP, to buy the Expos for US$120,000,000 from Loria.^[29] Loria moved the entire Expos management and coaching staff, including manager Jeff Torborg, to the Marlins — leaving the Expos without personnel or scouting reports.

With the contraction vote in November, 2001, still looming over the future of the 30 MLB franchises, and without a viable owner willing to operate the team in Montreal, it appeared that the Expos would either be disbanded or moved. However, the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission was granted an injunction that required the Minnesota Twins to play in the Metrodome in 2002.^[29] As it was impossible to eliminate the Expos franchise alone (which would have left an odd number of teams in MLB) without significantly changing the number of games in a season, the Expos got a temporary reprieve. Being unable to fold the team, nor move the Expos so close to the start of the season, MLB named Frank Robinson manager and Omar Minaya as vice-president and general manager. It also installed a new FieldTurf surface to replace Olympic Stadium's aging AstroTurf. However, rather than buy the new surface, MLB leased it for one year with an option for a second (an indication that MLB did not intend to remain in Montreal).

Although their attendance increased from 7,935 per game in 2001^[32] to 10,031 in 2002^[33], MLB decided that the Expos would play 22 of their home games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2003. Despite being a considerably smaller facility (it seats approximately 19,000) than Montreal's Olympic Stadium, attendance in San Juan's Hiram Bithorn Stadium averaged 14,222, compared with 12,081 in Montreal.^[6] The Puerto Rican baseball fans embraced "Los Expos" (particularly Puerto Rican players Jose Vidro, Javier Vazquez and Wil Cordero, and other Latin players like Vladimir Guerrero and Liván Hernández) as their home team (as well as the Latin players from other teams), all the while hoping the team would make a permanent move to Puerto Rico. Expos players held clinics and made personal appearances on behalf of the team in Puerto Rico^{[citation needed]}. Thanks in part to the San Juan games, the Expos were able to draw over a million fans at home in 2003 for the first time since 1997.^[6] The Expos' season in Puerto Rico was chronicled in the MLB-produced DVD Boricua Beisbol - Passion of Puerto Rico.

Led by Vladimir Guerrero, the 2003 Expos were part of a spirited seven-team Wild Card hunt. On August 28, they found themselves in a five-way tie for the lead with Philadelphia, Florida, St. Louis, and Houston. However, MLB, led by Bud Selig, in what ESPN's Peter Gammons called "a conflict of interest," decided that it could not afford an extra $50,000 to call up players from its minor leagues to take advantage of MLB's expanded roster limit during September. The budget was some $35 million. This doomed any hopes of reviving the franchise. Minaya later said, "Baseball handed down a decree.” They would not be allowed to call up players from the minors on September 1, as it was deemed too expensive. They would have to make do with what they had. "It was a message to the players," Minaya said. "It was a momentum killer." He also stated: "They're a tough group of guys. You cannot ever forget 2003; they were as good as the Marlins, who won the World Series. But nobody knows this because nobody saw Montreal in 2003. What killed us was not getting the call-ups."[2] Vladimir Alvino Guerrero (born February 9, 1976 in Don Gregorio, Nizao, Dominican Republic), nicknamed Vladdy, Super Vlad,Vlad The Impaler, Bad Vlad, and known in his native Dominican Republic as Miquéas (Spanish for Micah), is a Major League Baseball right fielder who plays for the Los Angeles Angels of... is the 240th day of the year (241st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The final season

The Players' Union initially rejected continuing the San Juan arrangement for the 2004 season, but later relented. Meanwhile, MLB actively looked for a relocation site. Some of the choices included Washington, D.C.; San Juan; Monterrey, Mexico; Portland, Oregon; New Jersey; Northern Virginia; and Norfolk, Virginia. During the decision-making process, Selig added Las Vegas, Nevada, to the list of potential Expos homes.

Banner raised during Montreal's final game in Olympic Stadium

On September 29, 2004, MLB officially announced that the Expos franchise would move to Washington, D.C. for 2005. Later that night, the Expos played their last game in Montreal, a 9-1 loss to the Florida Marlins before a season-high crowd of 31,395 fans.^[34] Although the team had worried about fan reaction, negative incidents were relatively mild: in the top of the third inning, golf balls were thrown onto the field, and the Expos players left the field at 8:01 for eight minutes, returning after the public address announcer warned the crowd of MLB's rule on forfeiting a game due to fan interference.^[35] At 9:11, another golf ball was thrown from the left field bleachers, resulting in another warning being displayed on the scoreboard.^[34] is the 272nd day of the year (273rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Historic games

• April 14, 1969- Mack Jones hit a three-run home run and two-run triple that highlighted an 8–7 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the Expos' first home victory as a franchise at Jarry Park. Jones' blast was also the first MLB home run hit outside the United States.

• April 17, 1969 - In just the franchise's ninth game in existence, Bill Stoneman pitched a 7–0 no-hitter while striking out 8 batters against the Philadelphia Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. Johnny Briggs made the final out for the Phillies. Le Grande Orange Rusty Staub was the hitting hero for the Expos going 4 for 5 with three doubles and a homer. A crowd of 6,496 were on hand to see it in Philadelphia.

• On October 2, 1972 - Bill Stoneman pitched his second career no-hitter (the final score of this one was also 7–0) in the first game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets at Olympic Stadium. The no-hitter was the first ever pitched outside the United States. Future broadcaster Tim McCarver was Stoney's catcher.

• April 21, 1976 - Shortstop Tim Foli (hitting in the number seven slot) hits for the cycle at Wrigley Field in Chicago in front of a crowd of 7,277. Tim is the first in Expos history to hit for the cycle. Pitcher Woodie Fryman picks up the victory.

• April 15 1977 - The Expos set a personal attendance record for a regular season game as 57, 592 fans attend the first game at Olympic Stadium. They were defeated 7 to 2 by the Phillies. Greg Luzinski of the Phils and Ellis Valentine of the Spos hit homers in the second inning, the first home runs at the Expos new home.

• July 20, 1978 - Shorstop Chris Speier (hitting in the number eight slot) hits for the cycle at Olympic Stadium in Montreal in front of a crowd of 14,108. Speier is the second in Expos history to hit for the cycle. Pitcher Woodie Fryman picks up the victory (again).

• July 30, 1978 - The Expos set a team record (never-broken) in hits in a game when they pick up 28 as they beat the Atlanta Braves by a score of 19 to nothing. Andre Dawson, Larry Parrish, and Gary Carter lead the way with 4 hits each. A crowd of 10,834 on hand at Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium. Pitcher Woodie Fryman picks up the victory (again).

• May 10, 1981 - Charlie Lea pitched a no hitter against the San Francisco Giants, deafeting them 4-0 at Olympic Stadium. The last out was recorded by Andre Dawson in center field. Lea would go on to shut out the Giants again a week later on four hits in San Fransico for good measure.

• October 11 1981 - Steve Rogers defeats Steve Carlton of the Phillies 3-0 in a pitchers duel to win the National League Division Series. Rogers drove in two of the three Expos runs to boot singling home Larry Parrish and Chris Speier in the fifth inning. The Expos advance to play the Dodgers who defeated the Astros. Rogers previously defeated Carlton in game one of the series as well.

• October 19, 1981 - Blue Monday. In the decisive Game 5 of their only National League Championship Series, the Expos were defeated at home, 2-1, by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tim Raines opened the bottom of the first with a double against Cy Young Award-winning rookie sensation Fernando Valenzuela and scored on an Andre Dawson double play ball. Valenzuela held the Expos scoreless the rest of the way, however, and the Dodgers tied the game at 1 in the top of the fifth with two hits, a wild pitch and an RBI ground out off Expo starter Ray Burris. The teams remained tied until the top of the ninth, when Expo manager Jim Fanning made a risky decision to relieve Burris with Game 3 winner Steve Rogers. Struggling closer Jeff Reardon was throwing alongside Rogers in the bullpen at the time, but Fanning elected to summon his ace. Rogers retired Steve Garvey and Ron Cey in order, but outfielder Rick Monday homered to put Los Angeles ahead, 2-1, and crush the Expos' hopes of advancing to the World Series. Two-out walks from Gary Carter and Larry Parrish were all that the Expos could muster in the 9th, as Bob Welch preserved the one-run Dodger victory. The Expos lost the NLCS, 3-2, and never returned to the postseason.

• July 13, 1982 - The All-Star Game moved across the border and was played in Montreal's Olympic Stadium. It was the first Midsummer Classic ever to be held outside of the United States. The National League won 4–1 before a crowd of 59 057. Steve Rogers was the winning pitcher and Dennis Eckersley took the loss. Dave Concepción was named MVP. Five players represented the Expos on the National League squad: Gary Carter, Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Al Oliver and Rogers.

• August 16, 1987 - Tim Raines hits for the cycle in a 10-7 victory over the Pirates of Pittsburgh going five-for-five in the process at Olympic Stadium. A crowd of 26,134 were on hand to see it in Montreal.

• August 23, 1989 - The Expos and Dodgers engage in a 22 inning marathon, the longest game in Expos history. It eventually ended when Rick Dempsey homered for the Dodgers in the top half of the 22nd innings off Dennis Martinez in a very rare relief performance. Rex Hudler would be caught stealing second in the bottom half of the 22nd to end the game. The game would have ended earlier when an Expo scored from third on a sacrifice fly. The Dodger's appeal, that the runner left the base too soon, was recognized by the third base umpire and the third out was recorded.
