		MONTREAL, April 2 -- When Jackie Robinson played baseball here in 1946 for the Montreal Royals, then the Class AAA International League farm team of the Brooklyn Dodgers, he fell in love with the people and the place.
		The people, in turn, loved the Royals and then, starting on Opening Day, April 14, 1969, they fell in love with the major league Expos who, for a time, played at quaint little Jarry Park.
		Down to their last out, Montreal rallied against Florida in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out, two-run single by Jose Vidro and a game-winning single by Orlando Cabrera.
