Who Killed the Montreal Expos? (sports documentary) (3:01
am, Netflix)
On September 29th, 2004, the Montreal Expos played their final home game before a grieving crowd at Olympic Stadium. For 35 years, the Expos had
been more than a ballclub?they were the first Major League Baseball team
to call Canada home and became part of Montreal?s heartbeat, a symbol of
pride and identity for Qu‚b‚cois. Generations grew up with the Expos, celebrating triumphs and enduring struggles. That final game marked the
end of an era, and for many, the loss of a piece of themselves. Two
decades later, the heartbreak remains, and the same question haunts the
city that once dreamed in Expos blue: who?s to blame for the loss of our
team? 1h 30m.
