To Expos fans from a baseball fan - Thank You

I grew up in California playing baseball. It was my first love. When I
began catching, I noticed a player by the name of Carter. I followed him
closely, and he soon became my favorite player, being that I was a catcher
as well. From Dawson, to Carter, to Raines - I really enjoyed Montreal.

I guess all I'm trying to say here, is that I have a lot of respect for your
franchise, your team and your fans. Not only because I grew up enjoying the
team, but because of the strong fan support the city showed in the face of
the strike, and yes, in my opinion even after the strike. As well, the
Expos & their franchise did things the right way. If I remember correctly,
from the 80's until the late 90's, Montreal had one of the strongest farm
systems in all of baseball. Many other teams took note, and as a compliment
to the Expos, copied quite a bit of what they were doing. What MLB was
wrong, and it makes me sad that because of the strike and Bud Selig the city
no longer has their team. I hold MLB accountable, and no one else -
certainly not the fervant fans of Montreal.

Unfortunately, I was never able to go to a game at Olympic stadium, and I
always wanted to. I realize there's nothing very uplifting about my post,
but I just wanted to let anyone that reads this know, I'm sorry this has
happened, and I will always have respect for Expos fans and the great
franchise that was.

In my opinion, Montreal was great for the game of baseball, and always
showed class. As someone who loves the game, I thank you for that. My
hat's off to you all.
