Thanks for this upload. On a sidenote, I went to my first Dodgers game that day to see LA play the Astros at Chavez Ravine. Ironically, Pedro Martinez was a Dodger the year before and dealt to the Expos for Delino DeShields for the 1994 season (A trade that was ridiculed at first because of Pedro's height and skinny nature and doubt he'd be a durable starter. Obviously, they were wrong). The Dodgers beat Houston, 7-1. Afterwards, we spent over an hour trying to find our car in the massive Dodger Stadium parking lot. Ah. good memories for the then 12-year old.
Snake bitten franchise. The '94 team was absolutely good enough to win the World Series and could've been just what was needed to get a stadium built and keep baseball in Montreal. It's just too bad.
*”The ‘94 team was absolutely good enough to win the World Series..”* They were having a great season, but I just don’t know about that. The ‘97 Mariners (who were certainly better than this Expos club) were led by Randy Johnson, Griffey, A-Rod, E-Mart and Jay Buhner, and they couldn’t get past the Orioles in the ALDS.
3 weeks before the infamous 1994 MLB strike and the beginning of the end for the #Expos. Lollapalooza had visited Montreal for the first and only time on July 27th _ I missed out because I worked night audit at a downtown Montreal hotel and had NO SOCIAL LIFE.
Quarintined Classics, I don't know if you're still around, but I have an idea. Game 5 of the 1992 ALCS is available here, but it doesn't contain the MLB on CBS pregame & postgame shows. I'm wondering if you have that game, and if so, could you please post the game with the pregame & postgame shows here, and if not, email the game to me?
You can count on one hand the number of Expos games sold out at Olympique Stadium. The franchise was simply not profitable in Montréal. Major League Baseball is at the end of the day a business. It shouldn’t be a mystery why the owner sold the team.
The music, the opening and the commercials!!! So much nostalgia! Thanks for the memories

Sweet. Any more expos games.
Paul Romanuk in the studio. I like listening to him on hockey play by play.

Bronfman, why did you have to go and sell the team. Billionaire counting his marbles. So fun to watch and revisit the best team in 94
I wish I the next expansion comes back they bring back the expos even if they play somewhere else in Canada besides Montreal
