I miss the Expos. I miss their old blue away jersey and I especially miss their old field cap and batting helmet.
Are those Padres I see in the background, or Giants?
Casey Candaele is the first player in this set that I had to sit back and ask myself "who?" I know the name, but for the life of my can't tell you one thing about his career other than he played in Montreal. But I guess the same can be said of a lot of Expos.
Candaele played for nine seasons and while the bat wasn't his best weapon, he was a very versitile fielder with a better than average fielding percentage (though lower than average range). Over the course of his career, he played at least one game at every position except for pitcher.
