In this All Sports History video we'll look back at what happened to the Montreal Expos when MLB almost folded the team completely, before they ended up moving to Washington D.C. for good.
Here's what this "Montreal Expos History" video covers:
The Montreal Expos were the first major league baseball team in Canada, and were a huge part of the sports scene in the Quebec area. So what exactly led to the team leaving the city they called home for 35 years? In today’s video we’ll take a look back at how MLB came close to folding the team, before they ended up moving away for good.
We'll also look back at some Montreal Expos highlights throughout their history, like the Expos first game and how the team name came to be and the design of their unique & modern forward looking Expos logo. We'll cover the opening of Olympic Stadium for the 1976 Summer Olympics and how it became the Expos stadium the next year. Then we'll go through their playoff run during the split 1981 season, featuring matchups like the Montreal Expos vs Toronto Blue Jays, Montreal Expos vs Atlanta Braves, and the Montreal Expos vs LA Dodgers. Next we'll head to the 1990s, when the Expos 1994 season started off promising but was cut short due to the MLB strike.By the early 2000's, the team split time between Montreal and the Expos Puerto Rico home stadium. Finally, we'll see the impact of the Montreal Expos last game and how the team's legacy continues on to this day with the Washington Nationals donning Montreal Expos throwback jerseys.
