**Dear Robert Manfred,
Bring baseball back to Montreal where it belongs.
- Every baseball fan in North America**
This doc goes in depth on how the Montreal Expos left Montreal for Washington DC. Delves deep into the finances, executive decisions that brought this once beloved baseball team left due to awful circumstances and bad luck. Wow the way that this team was ran executively was an absolute cluster fuck. Bureaucracy at its finest. Nobody agreeing with each other to make a decision. High rich egos in there high horse only making decisions for themselves. My god the city and fans of Montreal really deserved better. There was so much finger pointing with what happened, and absolutely zero accountability from everyone my god. This is how you don't run a baseball team (aside for the Athletics). The constant finger pointing kind of got really old because it felt that the bozos running the team, didn't give a shit about the team or the fans, they just saw it as an investment for themselves. Everybody was just so selfish. While watching you can really tell why this team ultimately failed.
Really depressing to see such a beloved team and the only other team in Canada leave.

Fuck David Samson and his raggedy ass step daddy Jeffrey Loria! HOWEVERRRRRR, it was clear that what really killed the expos was the city of Montreal lol. Like. Invest in your team if you want them to live????? Once it got to the part where they wouldn’t approve a new stadium like ???

It was terrible what happened to the expos, good thing the MLB learnt from this and didnt let Loria, and Samson get ownership of another team, rob a city, sabotage a good team by selling a bunch of players, basically killing the love for baseball in that city. RIGHT THEY DIDN’T DO THAT RIGHT.
