The Economics of baseball and the location of the Stadium killed the sport in Montreal.

Montreal was great in 1994 and then the strike happened. A lot of interest in baseball throughout Canada was lost when this happened. They would never rival the Habs in terms of popularity, but they were a big deal until the strike ended it all.

Watch any allstar game and count all the ex-Expos it is quite sad. If they had managed to keep some of those players who knows whether or not they would be in D.C right now. A salary cap would have saved them in my opinion.

I am glad that I got to go to their final home game. The players were pretty much a bunch of nobodies, but they did show some clips on the big screen of those who made the Expos great.
