]]> Comment on NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: The Definitive History of the Montreal Expos by Kurt Smith http://jonahkeri.com/2011/06/22/new-montreal-expos-book/#comment-1669 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 03:29:01 +0000 http://jonahkeri.com/?p=2885#comment-1669 Good luck with the book Jonah. I saw a game in Montreal in 2004, and I’ve recently taken an interest in what happened to the Expos and I must confess I too thought Montreal was a bad market for baseball. Turns out I was wrong. I’m very much looking forward to the book. If I can think of a title I’ll suggest one.

Our first clothing purchase for our oldest son was an Expos sweatshirt at the last home opener in ’04. My wife was 3 months pregnant at the time, and that’s as close as I’ll ever get to attending a Spos game with my boys. The shirt, which was handed down to our youngest (now 20 months), is now framed along with a pic of each of them wearing it and hangs on a wall in our home. Thanks for this and your other posts about Nos Amours and please don’t ever stop writing about ‘em. Really, really, really looking forward to the book (really).

It seemed like that the Expos were forgotten. Besides this book it would be nice to see a DVD documentary history of the team and the return of the Expos back in Montreal.

Expos sadness aside, DC has great potential as a baseball town, and this should be a fun team. Enjoy it.

I never realized until watching the MLB documentary on the Expos how our happiness at receiving the Nationals directly correlated to the sadness Montreal fans felt at losing the team. Understanding the history better makes me appreciate the Nationals more … cannot wait for the book!

More than any single event over the last 8 years, The Kid’s passing has stirred those old feelings and made me spend a little too much time seeking out articles such as this. Thanks for the post. And the memories, however bittersweet.

I went to a lot games (skipped a lot of Yeshiva in the process) but somehow always missed the big ones in person.

The 22 inning game against the Dodgers was on tv and my parents let my older brothers and I stay up to watch it. I fell asleep before Youppi but my brothers stayed up for the whole thing.

You are making me cry. My insane longing for the Expos has come back to the surface.

Thank you, I can’t wait for the book.
