/  2003 /  Expos Baseball expedition
15 images	I was in Canada and decided to catch an Expos game before there was no baseball in Montreal. It happened that this was an interleague game with Toronto, so I got to see two Canadian teams play each other. It was an exciting game with Montreal coming back from a deficit to win, and it was very cool to have things in English and French. But it was sad in that it seemed that I was there witnessing the death of baseball in Montreal. There were 11,000 fans there, which is a lot for a Montreal game. But the concourses down the first and third base sides were very quiet during the game. You could barely even hear that a game was happening when out there. You could look at seats and wonder, when was the last time they were ever used... I am glad that I got to see baseball in Montreal. These pictures are not great because they were taken with a disposable camera.
