Well, decades of MLB history already existed and then was largely ignored by the league during the multi-generational local baseball drought. There is little patience for the niceties as it were of history that takes the focus off of this market, one which dwarfs in size most of the ones MLB usd to leverage scores of markets into sweetheart stadium deals before Montreal couldn't manage the same despite years of efforts, including lawsuits.
Combine that with the MASN debacle that MLB has foisted on this market, and prentending we're all just fine with tipping the hat to MLB etc. is not high on the hit parade. As with the Browns, leave the records of Montreal in that market, as well as any exercises in nostalgia.
This. I voted no because I'm still bitter that it took Washington so long to get a team and I'm uncomfortable with Expos history being foisted on this city. I don't lose any sleep over it but the whole concept of team histories that travel with franchises vs staying with cities has never seemed logical to me. But, yeah, some of the Expos unis were way cool. I prefer the homes whites and hate the powder blue. The latter remind of the power blue Philthies uniforms.
