Brett had a six day stint and then a nine day stint at .400 or above (late Aug-Sept) and then one day in Sept. Not too shabby. Carew spent thirteen consecutive days (June and July) at .400 or above.

It's a crime what MLB did to that franchise, and it was totally unnecessary. If baseball could survive in Cleveland and Atlanta, it could survive Montreal. Especially with the *ahem* extracurricular activities the city offered. But alas, it's the deadest of dead horses, the Expos are gone, and they aren't coming back. Montrealers don't seem to mind, either. [17] At least Montreal had smoked meat sammiches, labbatts & the happy wanderer…
