IF (and it’s a huge IF: many balls still need to bounce our way) the @Montreal_Expos ever return, there will be a plaque - a beautiful plaque - at the main entrance of the new stadium.
That plaque will tell the story of an American executive who:
1) replied to a cold outreach from someone with no formal standing in MLB circles, no obvious means to pull this off alone,
2) took the time to listen, read the exec summary, and vet me before judging,
3) once he was reassured, spoke to @MLB on behalf of our beautiful city, this project and this one guy with a funny sounding name when he *didn’t have to*,
4) debriefed me on the league’s realities, and in that debrief,
5) helped turn what could’ve been a missed connection with an ideal anchor investor (whom I have previously reached out to over the holiday blitzkrieg reach out, and could now use said intelligence to do another "sortie" to hit the target) into a bona fide clear path to turning this concept into reality.
Mes amis, if Montreal ever gets Nos Amours back, I will ensure that every Montrealer will know his name.

No civilization is perfectly level. Therefore, either a civilization is expanding or contracting.
Collapsing birth rates mean that most cultures are tending towards extinction!
Expanding is the only option for those who want LIfE, for those who CARE about the FUTURE.
