Who’s ready for some poutine and the Washington Nationals donning the eMb? C’est vrai.
For one night on July 6th in the nation’s capital, the Nats will become the Expos and wear the powder blue uniforms of the Montreal team that became D.C.’s third baseball major league club in 2005.
Washington Post writer Scott Allen was the first (we saw) with the news that the Nationals will wear throwback Expos uniforms for their matchup with the Kansas City Royals for the second game of the three-game weekend set in Nationals Park.
--------------------------------------------------------------
As someone who grew up --and suffered alongside of-- a Montreal Expos fans, I'm incredibly excited by this.
The Washington Nationals did well on honoring select parts of their past in Montreal, but they seemed awfully uninterested in associating themselves with the team and its Canadian roots in the long run (preferring to instead make the link back to the Washington Senators franchise, that left town twice and became both the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers), so it is nice to finally be awarded the acknowledgement and caress we deserve, as fans who stuck with the team to this day.
It's only gonna be one day, but it's gonna be one day I'm sure to enjoy.
Go Nats! Go Expos! Go Natspos!
