Remembering the Expos on Opening Day

It's all but a memory now. The Expos have gone off with another.

There's finally a new ball park, but it's to be found in Southeast Washington, not downtown Montreal.

So we are left to fantasizing. Here's a musical treat from former Expos organist Fernand Lapierre that will take you back to the eraly years at Parc Jarry. Close your eyes and recall Rusty Staub, Gene Mauch, Bill Stoneman and Mack Jones (links to others too). All that's missing is "The Happy Wanderer".

Play Ball !
