The Team That Might Have Been Actually Was
Baseball Crank has a look back on the 1994 Expos- one of baseball's best "what if?" questions.
The balance on that team was simply amazing. They were quite possibly the best 1-25 team I've ever seen (granted, I can only attest to around ten years of baseball, but that's still saying something). It's hard to imagine that playoff success wasn't in that club's future. Of course, they never got the chance to show what they were capable of, as the 1994 strike ended the season prematurely.
Just think what Stade Olympic would be like today had the Expos won a World Series in 1997- or even just made the playoffs. Would we be talking about Washington DC or Virginia right now? I doubt it.
