Before a game against the Boston Bruins on October 18, 2005, the Montreal Canadiens gave one final solute to the dearly departed Expos.

Eventually, baseball will return to Montreal. Washington didn't have a team for a while, so it just made sense to move it there. I'll give it about 15 years or so, but I think the city will get a team back.

MTL needs a baseball park, not an olympic stadium. That's the first thing they need to get if they're serious about bringing a new franchise.

@BlackJays After the Winnipeg Jets left for Phoenix, it was a 15 wait for the NHL to return to Winnipeg. It took a big effort, including a new arena. If Montreal makes an effort, they could be where the next team to move lands. The Nationals played at RFK stadium for 3 years while planning/building their new stadium. A baseball team could use Olympic Stadium in a similar manner. There's potential.

I don't know. Maybe they were scared to death that a Canadian team could have won the World Series for three straight years in the 1990's. The Expos would have smoked the Yankees in 1994, and I think that would have been great for the game.

Maybe once Bud Selig gets out of the game, baseball will come back to Montreal.

@moffman17 I think Pedro Martinez have his chance to be at the hall of fame.
