For today’s 30-Day Baseball Coach4aday Challenge post I am reporting on GARY Carter.
The Montreal Expos were a Canadian professional baseball team based in Montreal, Quebec. The Expos were the first Major League Baseball franchise located outside the United States. They existed from 1969 to 2004. In 2004 the franchise was moved to Washington DC and became the Nationals.
One of the best players to ever wear a Expo jersey was Gary Carter. He broke into the majors on a full-time basis in 1975 and would remain with the Expos until he got traded to the NY Mets ahead of the 1985 season. He would play in the majors up until 1992.
Carter was voted in to the 2003 Baseball Hall of Fame.
