Early 90's Baseball

When 20 dongs a year was good and corked bats, pine tar, and chew were PEDs

@MLBNetwork You kidding?

Happy Pedroversary of the night Pedro Martinez smoked five of the six batters he faced in the 1999 All Star Game, held July 13, 1999 at Fenway Park. Noted protein shake enthusiasts Sosa and McGwire would have had better luck tying a baked ham in a knot.

White Alert: 🚨 One-time-All-Star Rondell White. 198 Dongs. BASEBALL TIME

[Early 90's Baseball @DailyHojo]

Cecil Fielder (my hero) and Prince Fielder (his also husky son) both hit 319 career home runs. Although Papa fielder had 38 bombs playing a year in Japan in 1989 so not only did he kind of hit more he also definitely hit more and had a better mustache.

Not early 90s but unbelievable. Only better is Dave Winfield.

Gotta be the best Halloween costume you’re gonna see this year.

[Montreal Expos @Montreal_Expos]

As baseball's attention turns to expansion, who could make a play to bring the Expos back to Montreal?

Stephen Bronfman
A well-respected and liked business leader in Montreal, Bronfman is the son of Charles, the Expos' original owner. His interest in bringing baseball back to Montreal is no secret, and arguably came close to fruition under the “sister city” idea with Tampa Bay. Bronfman would lean heavily on plans to build a baseball stadium within a mixed-use urban development project, and may have the most credibility with government leaders.

Bell
A Canadian telecom and media behemoth, Bell has the sports properties and consumer-facing brands that would benefit from exclusive access to live baseball every day for over half of the year. And while the purchase price of an expansion franchise is hefty, it looks like an absolute bargain compared to what corporate rival Rogers paid for a dozen years of NHL rights. Rogers is also the owner of the Toronto Blue Jays, and Bell may relish the opportunity to cut into Rogers’ baseball monopoly in Canada.

Elon Musk and Claire Boucher
A Canadian citizen who landed in Montreal in 1989, Musk is the world's richest man with an important tie to the city: Claire Boucher. Better known as Grimes, Boucher is mother to three of Musk's children, and has spent a significant amount of her life in Montreal. Her rise to music stardom began as she studied at McGill. Musk has at least a glancing interest in big-league sports, appearing at many major sporting events, but professional sports ownership seems to be a challenge he’s not interested in - barring a new American League division on Mars. Nevertheless, the billionaire could be trolled into doing just about anything - so Expos ownership could simply be one funny meme away. As biographer Walter Isaacson writes, Musk is obsessed with the letter X and coincidentally, there’s a prominent one in eXpos.

Alain Bouchard
There’s a good chance you’re drinking a beverage purchased at one of Alain Bouchard’s convenience stores. The billionaire's Aliments Couche-Tard Inc. has over 14,000 stores across much of the developed world, operating primarily under the Circle-K banner. Bouchard’s strategy of aggressively pursuing rivals and building an empire of convenience shopping has made him one of the most important business figures in Quebec history. Bouchard is a baseball fanatic, and is worth an estimated 7 billion dollars.

Pierre Karl Péladeau
The President and CEO of Quebecor, there is no questioning Péladeau’s love of sports or his business acumen. Péladeau recently purchased the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes, and his desire to bring back the Quebec Nordiques is no secret. Péladeau’s Quebecor is a telecom and media giant, and has recently launched Canada’s fourth national wireless brand. Péladeau views Bell as a mortal enemy, and an attempt to bring back the Expos could serve as a needed boost to his own media properties, and a blow to Bell’s sports ambitions.

Tom Brady
The 18th round pick of the Montreal Expos in 1995, Tom Brady has most definitely brought World Series glory to Montreal in at least one alternate universe. In this universe, the retired NFL star is now one of the wealthiest former athletes ever, and has already dipped his toes into sports by becoming a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. He openly joked about bringing back the Expos last year, and may be open to a bigger leap into the world of sports franchise ownership.
