I was reading the only thing holding Montreal back now from being at the top of the expansion list is the need for a new stadium. I was too young to remember ever seeing the Jays play the Expos, I'd love to see that rivalry revived.
This just proves how ready and deserving is of Montreal getting a team back. these must be some of the largest spring training attendance numbers on record for the MLB.
