Montréal, Québec, 30 July 2015 – Two buses carrying about 100 Montreal baseball fanatics made the five-hour trek to Cooperstown, New York, to join hundreds of others from ExposNation, to see two former Expos get inducted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame
Pedro Martinez pitched for the Expos from 1994 to 1997, winning the only Cy Young of the franchise. Randy Johnson was drafted by the Expos and pitched for the team in 1988 and 1989 before being traded.
The members of the ExposNation got on the buses at the Palais des congrès at 6:30 a.m. Sunday for the six-hour trip to Cooperstown. They were headed to Cooperstown to see former Expos pitcher Pedro Martinez inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame along with Randy Johnson, another former Expos pitcher. It turned out to be a long, hot afternoon for ExposNation with Martinez the last of the four inductees to make his speech, starting just after 4 p.m.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”sky” align=”align_center” style=”dotted”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
