One of the most impressive Pete Crow-Armstrong games in his career. Driving the ball in clutch situations. No-doubt home run. And making defensive plays that you just don't ever see. His game-ending catch was INSANE, looking like he pressed the Devin Hester sprint speed button.

Today, we officially bestow an honorary induction upon the 1994 Expos.
The Expos, led by players like Moises Alou, Hall of Pretty Gooder Marquis Grissom, and Hall of Famers Larry Walker and Pedro Martinez, took the NL East by storm, going 74-40 and maintaining a 6.0 game lead over the second place Atlanta Braves. Fate proved cruel, though, as the remainder of the 1994 baseball season was canceled, along with the postseason.
I've spoken to many baseball fans over the course of my life, and I am 100% under the impression that this team had a legitimate chance at winning the 1994 World Series.
Circumstances out of their control prevented them from reaching greatness, but there's nothing standing in the way o eternal pretty goodness.
The Instagram Broadcast Channel voted in favor of bestowing the 1994 Montreal Expos with an honorary Hall of Pretty Good induction. This will be the first time a team has been inducted into the HoPG. While entering this Hall is a small consolation prize for what could have been, I hope this serves as a reminder of the appreciation baseball fans have for one of the ultimate "what could have beens."
As far as the induction goes, the 1994 team and all of its players earn this honorary induction regardless of their standing with the Hall of Pretty Good criteria. Players who are still eligible for individual votes will still have the chance to be voted on, and this does not change the individual status of overqualified or Hall of Fame players.
