Home runs, heroes and heartbreak: How much do you know about Montreal's baseball history?
With no MLB team in the city, Montreal fans have few options: Follow other cities' teams — or reminisce
For decades, Montreal was a pro baseball city.

This week coincides with a few firsts for the now-defunct Expos: their first ever home opener, attended by a number of fans and political types alike, and their first game in a brand new stadium.
September will mark 13 years since Nos Amours played their last game in Montreal.
The MLB commissioner has said Montreal is a prime candidate for expansion, but that may be a ways away.
