As I mentioned 2 posts ago, I went to an Expos' spring training game in 1974. Here are a few other things I found recently. (It's amazing how a little thing like moving will shake all the dust off of one's forgotten archives!)
An 11 x 8 tri-fold team roster (with Gary Carter as a non-roster invitee!) The visiting Dodgers' roster is on the back flap. (Why are there periods after INF and OF, but not after P and C?)
My ticket for that game:
Jim from The Phillies Room: Wait until you see what else I found! (it's from April 1966)

Back in the summer of 1969 my family took a vacation trip to Montreal and we attended a Reds-Expos game at 'Parc Jarry'. It was a fun place to watch a game. I remember that the game went extra innings and Johnny Bench hit a grand slam off Roy Face in the 11th. I also remember that it was 'Bat Night' and every kid (including my brothers) spent the whole three hours banging the bats on the aluminum bleachers. Made a tremendous racket. And finally I remember that they posted the news of Jim Palmer's no-hitter on the scoreboard. I went nuts.
All of that is a long way to say that I'm enjoying these Expos 'stuff' posts, Jim. I have a soft spot for that club.
Bob,
Click on the "Expos" label at the bottom of this post, then scroll down to the 11/22/2009 post about Jarry Park. Be sure to read the 5th comment!
Way to leave me hanging! Looking forward to the future post.
LOL. Jim... If anyone would have the wherewithal to kick a hole in the fence and fool the umps it would be Rusty Staub.
James, it will be next. (I've already got it scanned.)
Tommie Agee listed as an outfielder on the Dodgers. Almost forgot he was at spring training with the team back then...
