You are a bit older and wiser than me Don.
I was still very young when they were at Jarry Park.
My memories for the Expos start around 1980.

I grew up very close to the border, so I went to a number of games (beat your 10 in some years).. especially when I was in High School which was about 75 minute drive to the Big Owe, and a few of us in my class would drive there in 1993 and 1994.

The team had to get moved.   It hurt, but the franchise was in a position of no return.  The only hope is that it one day comes back.  I hung on right to the very end in 2004, but I can't question those who dropped out earlier.  For some reason I stayed strong to the end, but not sure if I would do in other situations if it arose.   Ownership was just brutal.

Comparing to Syracuse, if I created a meter of the current issues in Syracuse basketball 2021 vs the issues in Expos baseball in 1998, Syracuse would maybe be at 15% of the issues where Montreal was in 1998... and maybe 10% of the issues by 2004.    It's a very different situation.[/I]

Also I hope your help health issues can stay under control /  improve.
