Back in 1992. My mom used to have to go to Monmouth, Illinois to buy inventory for her business.
I would go with her and she would drop me off in Burlington, Iowa at the Bees game. The Burlington Bees at the time were single-A affiliates of the Montreal Expos. I sat and watched the game and she picked me up after.
The Expos at the time had a great farm system and it was starting to show at the big league level. I think it was prospects like Cliff Floyd and Rondell White who really got me interested in the Expos. I just began following the team thinking those Bees players would eventually play for the big league team. The only one that did I think was Jose Vidro.
Anyway... Being a fan of this team hasn't always been easy and it hasn't always been fun but....
27 years later and we're finally in the World Series!!!
