I'm glad I got to see the Expos play when we were in Montreal. Now they're headed to DC, another favorite city of mine.
I am sad I did not get to take a picture with the real Youppi, though.

"You can win a baseball game in Montréal 5 to 3 and the fans won't care because you didn't score a goal." -Steve Lyons, "Fox Saturday Baseball Pre-Game Show," Aug. 26, 2000.
Sadly, that's the one thing I'll always remember about baseball in Montréal.
