A l'époque, j'écoutais les expos à la radio, le soir dans mon lit. Un sport lent mais intense, presque méditatif. Et des animateurs de haut qualibre, pertinents et captivants. Je VEUX retrouver mes Expos.
Je suis en accord avec les deux points. C’est la patience et l’ exécution qui génèrent, grâce à la lenteur du sport. Les fans du baseball (comme nous mêmes), se concernent plûtot de la stratégie durant la partie avec tous çe qui est expliqué par les commentateurs... Un jeu d’anticipation, comme John Travolta à declaré dans son film “Basic”.
banquetroom ... Messieurs, vous venez d’avoir la discussion sur le baseball la plus profonde et articulée que j’ai pu lire ou entendre jusqu’à maintenant.
Très beau souvenir d'une belle équipe en ascension. Dommage que nous n'étions que 15 000 en pleine course au championnat. Les belles foulent furent finalement au rendez-vous surtout en 1994, mais la grève a tout brisé / Great souvenir from a beautiful team on the rise in 1992. Sad that we were only 15 000 that night in the middle of a playoff hunt. Bigger crowds finally came on a regular basis in 1994 but all that momentum was broke by the strike.
Can you imagine if Vlad and Walker were with the Expos at the same time? OMG, who would you put in right field? I think one of them would have played in left field. It's so sad not only what happened to the '94 team, but also giving away players like Vlad and Pedro Martinez in the years after. The '94 team, plus those amazing players, might have given Montreal one or multiple World Series Championships.
Yeh if that 1994 season never had a strike the Expos would've ended the Braves run at being a team of the 90s and the same for the Yankees. Remember John Wetteland became a Yankee.
@@Jemv1 No, 1994 was when the Expos had the best record in baseball (74-40) when the strike hit, before the Expos started trading off their best players in 1995. Would the Expos have won the World Series in 1994? Because of the strike, no one will ever really know.
if they can get a team to Montreal, they should be in same division as Jays and then we'll see 16-19 games per year and make this a MAJOR RIVALRY not the 6 game cream puff series between the 2 for about 7 years
L'ambiance au stade était unique que ce soit avec 7 000 ou 30 000 spectateurs lors des remontés des Expos ou lours de situation de match intéressantes.
Open air stadium, real grass, same uniforms. There's enough talent in the world to expand baseball and put a team in Montreal. Can't be that hard to find 5 more markets to put Major League teams in, if balanced divisions are what you desire (Portland, San Jose in the West, OKC, Nashville in the Central and Raleigh in the East....all cities with professional teams already)
1998 was awesome meanwhile they played in open air the whole season. It was great to see the tower from inside and almost every seats where shade covered during hot days. They would surely have had about twice the attendance during the weekend games in the 1999-2004 era.
I want to see the play where Walker hands the ball to a fan because he forgot how many outs there were in April '94. I will always remember the day I signed up for the army from that day. It was also the day Richard Nixon died.
Actually, they became a sad sack beginning in 1992 until about 1997. They finally started to regain competitiveness in '98 when they acquired Al Leiter, and a few other key players.
same. could not cheer for Washington. I basically stopped watching baseball in 2005. i became a Rockies fan for a while. followed some if the old Expos. when they started retiring....I did too.
not that I really care but in just happen to know that's not true because I remember having a chuckle when I heard he had three brothers named Gary, Carey and Barry...and if that wasn't enough his parents are Larry and Mary...
Avec le propriétaire cheap comme Claude Brochu s'était pas ben mieux , j'aimerais te rappeler quil à laissé partir Larry Walker, grissom, Ken Hill et John Wettlen, F#$ck you Brochu
@@mathieu100 The strike was planned before the season started dude. We all knew it was coming because the owners weren't going to give in and they didn't.
@@daboys1215 no , toronto just won 2 world serie, TV ratings was CRAP MLB did NOT want to risk a Toronto va montreal WS. Look what happen next season, expos got rid of grissom, Walker, Ken Hill and john Weteland. MLB toll the Brochu to make sure the expos nerver go to the playoff ever again.
@@mathieu100 No son. The strike was going to happen before the season even started. Stop making things up. You literally have no idea what you are talking about. The PLAYERS literally voted to strike.
