Montreal Expos
The Franchise was established in 1969 as the Montreal Expos. The team would experience limited success with a post season appearance in 1981 where they lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship series three games to two. In 1994, the team would earn the best record in baseball, until the players strike canceled the season. The franchise was unable to overcome that setback and the team experienced a steep decline in fan support which led to the franchise to be re-located to Washington DC. -
