	Montreal Expos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Montreal was led through these years by a core group of young players, including catcher Gary Carter, outfielders Tim Raines and Andre Dawson, third baseman Larry Parrish and pitchers Steve Rogers and Bill Gullickson.
		After 1994, the Expos lost most of their star players through free agency and trades, and had poor records nearly every season, except for a second-place finish in 1996, and respectable seasons in 2002 and 2003.
		Montreal is often cited as an example of a small-market team, in terms of potential revenue sources such as broadcasting contracts, unable to compete with teams in bigger markets such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and therefore no longer a viable competitor.

	Montréal Expos - BR Bullpen
		Montreal had a long association with professional baseball however, especially through the Montreal Royals of the International League, who were the top farm club of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Los Angeles Dodgers until their demise in 1960.
		In 1973, the Expos were involved in an unlikely four-team pennant race in the National League East, achieving a virtual tie for first place on September 17 (Boxscore from Retrosheet) before losing 9 of their next 10 games and finishing the season in fourth place, three and a half game behind the New York Mets.
		However, the Expos playoff aspirations were ended by the 1994 strike which shortened the season and caused the postseason to be cancelled.

		Montreal was just below the.500 line for the year, with a very good record at not allowing runs.

		In 52 home games at Olympic Stadium, Montreal drew 1,276,250 fans (an average of 24,543) and were on pace to break two million in attendance for the first time since 1983.
		The Expos of 1994 were quickly stripped of their assets – starting pitcher Ken Hill was dealt to St. Louis, Grissom was traded to Atlanta and Wetteland went to the Yankees in exchange for very little.
		The Expos averaged a league-low 12,000 fans a game in Loria's first year and by 2002 Loria had enough, selling the club to the league itself and using the profits to purchase the Florida Marlins.

		The Expos had the best record in baseball in 1994 when players walked out (the '81 season also was shortened by a strike).
		Last Wednesday, after years of dwindling attendance, the Expos were finally relocated to Washington, D.C. Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, the team's manager the last three seasons, said he would be interested in following the club to the nation's capital, regardless of whether the team is under new ownership or is still operated by baseball.

		Ruskin pitched with the Expos for a couple of years and Greene is still in the majors but hasn’t established himself as a key contributor.
		So the Expos traded away arguably the most dominating lefthander of his era and two journeymen in a misguided attempt to win a pennant with a team that just didn’t have the horses.
		The Expos owe their nickname to the fair that was held near the time of their birth in Montreal, and fair is just how the franchise has played for much of their 30 year existence.
