Montreal's old minor-league baseball team, once the top-level development team for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Past stars include Jackie Robinson (whose Montreal #20 has been retired by the Expos), Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax, and Don Drysdale, who later became an Expos broadcaster. If you look at old Royals photos, you'll see a lot of ballpark signs in English - the decline in fan support for baseball in the city can, arguably, be traced to the exodus of its anglophone population.
