Canada Makes the Big Leagues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Al Doyle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Montreal<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What were you doing on April 8, 1969?  Many Canadians were focused on an event in New York City, as the brand-new Montreal Expos were playing their first game against what would become the world champion Miracle Mets later that season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Hope flowed across Canada as Tom Seaver lasted just five\ninnings against the expansion Expos.  Montreal won 11-10 thanks in part to\na three-run homer by third baseman Jose “Coco” Laboy.  It was\nLaboy’s first major league game after a decade in the minors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Unlike most players plucked from the scrap heap known as\nthe expansion draft, Laboy put up solid numbers in ’69, with 18 HR and a\nteam-leading 29 doubles and 83 RBI.  The Puerto Rico native tied for\nsecond in Rookie of the Year balloting, but the popular infielder crashed to\n.199 with 5 HR and 53 RBI in 1970.  Knee problems limited Laboy’s playing\ntime through his final season in 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Reality struck with a 1-4 record in the next five\nroad contests before the Expos played the first major league game in Canada on\nApril 14 against the Cardinals.  An Opening Day crowd of 29,184 piled into\nJarry Park, which had a listed capacity of 28,456.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Montreal won 8-7 despite five errors and five unearned\nruns.  Lefty Dan McGinn earned the victory in relief with 5.1 innings of\nshutout pitching.  He proved to be the bullpen workhorse of the first-year\nExpos, appearing in 74 games and 132.1 IP with a 7-10 record, 3.94 ERA and six\nsaves.  It took two hours and 16 minutes to complete the high-scoring\ncontest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The real fun came on April 17 when Bill Stoneman tossed a\nno-hitter against the Phillies.  It was just the ninth game in Expos\nhistory and the team’s third home game.  The 7-0 triumph was witnessed by\na crowd of 6496, which wasn’t an unusually low number for an early season\nweeknight game in Montreal.  It was a typical Stoneman performance with\neight strikeouts and five walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  How much have baseball economics changed in a half\ncentury?  Expos management gave Stoneman a $2000 raise on his $15,000\ncontract (the major league minimum salary was $10,000) for the no-no, and\nRenault rewarded the right-hander with one of their economy cars.   Stoneman\ntossed a second no-hitter against the Mets on October 2, 1972 against the Mets\nat Parc Jarry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   After beginning with an 11-17 record, the Expos\nwere outscored 125-49 during a 20-game losing streak that dragged on from May\n13 to June 7.  The number of explosive tirades launched during the 25-day\nstring of losses by perpetually intense manager Gene Mauch wasn’t\nrecorded.   A four-game winning streak from September 12-15 was\nMontreal’s longest run of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Talent is a scarce commodity for new teams, but the Expos\nhad an All-Star caliber position player and some help from the supporting\ncast.  Outfielder Rusty Staub was acquired in a trade with the Astros in\nFebruary, 1969, and he immediately became a fan favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Le Grand Orange<\/em> hit .302 with 29 HR and 79\nRBI.  Opposing pitchers often worked around the left-handed slugger, as\nStaub’s 110 walks were third in the National League.  Rusty’s .426 on-base\npercentage and .952 on-base plus slugging ranked fourth in the NL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  In addition to his performance on the field, Staub\nendeared himself to Expos fans by taking French lessons along with living\nyear-round in Montreal and working diligently to promote the team.  The\nfuture restaurant owner’s serious interest in food and wine certainly didn’t\nhurt in a French-dominated culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Expansion draft pick Mack Jones lived up to his slugging\nreputaion by launching 22 homers with 79 RBI and a .270 average. \nShortstop Maury Wills and line-drive machine Manny Mota were traded to the\nDodgers for Ron Fairly on June 11, and he supplied offensive production (12\nHR\/39 RBI\/.293 in 253 AB) and steady defense and first base and in the\noutfield.  Bob Bailey was another productive bat, as he hit .265 with 9 HR\nand 53 RBI in 358 AB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Pitching proved to be the biggest problem for Mauch’s\nExpos.  Stoneman (11-19, 4.39 ERA) was the only hurler with more than\nseven wins.  Fellow starters Jerry Robertson and Mike Wegener went 5-16\nand 5-14 respectively.  A major league worst 702 walks (the NL average was\n533) was a significant factor in the team’s 4.35 ERA.  It’s all too easy\nto imagine Mauch reciting his saying “Most one-run games are lost, not\nwon” as wild Expos pitchers repeatedly put opposing runners on base with\nfour balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Elroy Face was the exception to the general lack of\ncontrol.  The 41-year old reliever surrendered just 15 walks in 59.1\ninnings and went 4-2 with a 3.94 ERA and five saves.  It was the final\nseason for the 5’8″ forkball specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  A late season deal did more than provide another arm in\nthe bullpen.  The Expos purchased Claude Raymond from the Braves on August\n19.  Was the trade a disappointment, as Raymond was going from the team\nthat would win the National League West to a struggling first-year expansion\nsquad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  It was the happiest moment in Raymond’s lengthy (1959 to\n1971) major league career.  The native of Saint-John-sur-Richelieu, Quebec\n(just 40 kilometres southeast of Montreal) became an instant local favourite\nand the first Canadian to play for the Expos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  He made 15 late season relief appearances in 1969, and\nnumber 16 came through with a career-high 23 saves for the Expos in 1970. \nRaymond then became the franchise’s French-language voice on radio and TV from\n1973 to 2001.   The right-hander was inducted into the Canadian\nBaseball Hall of Fame in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  So why didn’t management shake up the roster more than\nthey did and send the underachievers packing?  Montreal may have had the\nskimpiest farm system of the post-World War II era.  The Expos shared the\nClass AAA Vancouver Mounties with the Seattle Pilots, which means there were\nroughly a dozen potential call-ups (many not worthy of a shot at the majors)\nunder team control.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Ironically, the Vancouver arrangement was much more\nconvenient for the Americans than the Canadians.  Seattle is just 225\nkilometres south of the British Columbia city, and the Pilots frequently\nshuffled their roster.  With Montreal located nearly 3700 kilometres and\nthree time zones east of Vancouver, calling up marginal talent could be\nanything but cost effective.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Aside from the few bodies in Vancouver, the rest of the\nfarm system consisted of the Rookie level Gulf Coast League Expos and the West\nPalm Beach Expos of the Class A Florida State League.  West Palm Beach\noffered little hope of a brighter future, as the team scored a mere 392 runs in\n131 games (2.99 per game) while hitting just 81 doubles and 15 HR with a .211\nteam average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Even the most extreme optimist doesn’t expect a\nfirst-year expansion squad to contend for the pennant, but that didn’t stop\nExpos fans from turning out in solid numbers.  The paid attendance of\n1,212,608 far exceeded the other expansion teams of that year.  The Kansas\nCity Royals drew 902,818, while a ticket count of just 677,944 help doom the\none-year Seattle Pilots to bankruptcy and a move to Milwaukee.  The San\nDiego Padres had a dismal attendance of 512,970, which means the Expos outdrew\nthe Pilots and Padres combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  No-frills Jarry Park had zero amenities, as none of the\nseats were covered by a roof or provided any protection from the elements. The\nproper name for the facility is Jarry Park Stadium (Stade Parc Jarry), as it is\nlocated in Montreal’s spacious Parc Jarry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  A domed stadium was one of the conditions for Montreal’s\nentry to the National League, with 1972 as the original deadline for the new\nballpark.  Strikes and other delays kept the Expos in Jarry Park through\nthe 1976 season.  While Jarry had its drawbacks such as the sun setting in\nthe first baseman’s eyes during early and late season games, many fans found\nOlympic Stadium to be a less than ideal setting for baseball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Putting a team in French-speaking Quebec was a\nradical departure from the tired “We’ve always done it that way”\nmentality that was pervasive in baseball in the 1960s.  The province’s\nresidents displayed their sincere enthusiasm with attendance that was out of\nproportion to the meager results produced by the 1969 roster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Although the Expos moved to Washington, D.C.\nfollowing the 2004 season, Montreal is among the top cities when future major\nleague expansion to 32 teams is discussed.  Quebec baseball enthusiasts\nsurely hope for a second chance. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
