Some baseball at last!

Richard sent us a post to old Montreal Expos games on YouTube. This should be fun as you'll see the actual game rather than just listening to it. I wasn't a baseball fan then although I played scrub softball every day after school for years. The games were broadcast in French on radio and we could pick them up since we had a satellite dish in the backyard. Richard and Jim were ardent fans and this really kept Richard's French up. Jim got the dish to pick up Mexican TV and BBC radio and we got lots of other interesting stuff. Ah...how things have changed with the Internet.

We did see the Expos playing in Montreal, San Francisco, and Seattle. It was quite exciting to be at the live game with the crowds.

Richard had quite a collection of Expos hats and shirts. I think I recognise some of these.
