I remember being at this game as a 10-year old like it was yesterday, I’ve always told people this story but never realized it was on UA-cam. This was one of the angriest sports crowds I’ve ever been a part of
Wow, Vladimir Guerrero, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Andres Galarraga, Ken Griffey Jr, Adam Dunn, Frank Robinson, Omar Minaya, Montreal Olympic Stadium That must have been a fun weekend.
Il y avait 25 178 spectateurs le 29 septembre 2002... Les Pirates de Pittsburgh ont longtemps eu des foules de 10-15 000 spectateurs dans leur merveilleux stade au Centre-Ville avec des équipes de bas de classement. Soyons objectifs: Une équipe de bas de classement comme Montréal avec un stade laid comme jamais, ça n'attire pas grand monde, mais une équipe gagnante avec un stade au centre-ville, qui sait?
Meh, this was potentially their last game ever (my parents took me to this game thinking the team was going to move that winter). I don’t think this is really an accurate representation of Expos attendance.
@@ColeNollavook I agree, especially in that Era, however from their beginning in 1969-1996, the Expos used to draw big crowds. The 1980's though mid 90's was especially good, mostly. They used to outdraw the Cubs, Yankees, and Red Sox. When Claude Brochu bought the team in 1991 he immediately showed that he wasn't going to spend money on the team. Yes, they were very good for several years after that, but by the late 90's the fans stopped caring. Jeffrey Loria bought the team after 1999 and really drove the nail into the coffin with his lies and deception. Then he did the same thing to the Marlins. Montréal was a great baseball city. It still is. To have a successful team you need an owner who cares about the fans and winning. Not the bottom line.
Bartolo Colon, quien era compañero de equipo de Vlad ese año, dijo que en ese momento se le salieron las lagrimas. Fue un final de temporada agria para los dominicanos. A Vlad con ese ponche le evitaron dar un posible HR (el 40) que lo haria hacer un 40-40. Y en esa misma tarde, en Wrigley Field, todos esperaban el HR 50 de Sosa, que lo convertiria en el unico en pegar 50+ HRs, 5 años consecutivos. Ninguna de las dos cosas se dieron.
Y el home run numero 50 de Sammy en el 2002 iba a ser tambien el homerun numero 500 de su carrera. Y Alfonso Soriano tambien termino el 2002 como Vladimir = 39 home runs y 40 bases robadas. El tambien no pudo unirse al club de 40-40 Pero no fue todo negativo = Bartolo y Pedro ambos ganaron 20 juegos en el 2002. Y Manny Ramirez gano el batting title de la liga Americana en el 2002.
Et en 2020, ils nous disent qu'on est systémiquement racistes au Québec et qu'on encourage pas assez la diversité. Vous avez 25 000 personnes qui vous disent le contraire et en plus, c'était il y a 20 ans.
@@Luis__Santana Les proprios qui ont eu l'équipe en 1991 ainsi que Loria en 1999 l'ont mal géré et ceci combiné avec des menaces de déménagement si un nouveau stade est pas construit et des équipes de bas-fond de classement presque à chaque année à partir de 1997 c'est pas ça qui amène les partisans à payer et se dépacer dans un coin perdu pour assister aux matchs. Encore moins quand le proprio de ta team c'est les 29 autres clubs. On peut voir le même résultat à Ottawa avec les Senateurs et en Arizona avec les Coyotes.
The worst part is that this was seen as possibly the last ever Expos game before they fold or relocate, so this brutal call had the potential to turn into a riot or something. I mean the fans threw debris on the field in protest twice afterwards but it could have been worse.
It wasn’t. Marquez also ruled a ball that cleared the right-center field wall (that bounced onto the field) a ground rule double the day before (which took away Vlad’s 40-40)
@@patrickhagan9382 Regarding the strike 3 call in this video of game 162: Yes, it was the correct call, ive seen different angles, and Vladdy did swing. HOWEVER, if youre the umpire, you must call that a non-swing, because no one would have cared if it was a swing. Its the final game of the season and both the Reds-Expos are not playing for anything, so give Vladdy the non-swing-call, so that he can have another chance to hit that home run. As for the home-run-double call, the day before on game 161: Ive seen many different replays and I could never get a definite view of all the replays. HOWEVER, if youre the umpires, just give Vladimir that home run call. No one would have cared at the end if the wrong call was made by giving Vladdy the home run. Just give him the home run call.

Little kid in the dugout next to Andres Galarraga at 2:00 turned out to be a pretty good ball player... and 2023 Home Run Derby winner.
Game has changed soo much in 10 years! Glad they review some calls.
Wow, Vladimir Guerrero, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Andres Galarraga, Ken Griffey Jr, Adam Dunn, Frank Robinson, Omar Minaya, Montreal Olympic Stadium
That must have been a fun weekend.
I was there live, in the bleachers. That ump was a case of "LOOK AT ME! I'M THE STAR". lol

We missed Expos, and we miss Expos
At 2:07, is this Vladimir jr next to Galarraga? He would have been 3 years and a half.
Yes he is.
amén
1:29 lo maximo como persona y jugador dios lo bendiga
Soy el único que observó a Vladimir JR
Nop
Haha I love the poster at 1:05 "Wilton 1". Congrats Vlad on your induction
That gives me goosebumps.
the previous day, he had hit a ball that landed on top of the center field fence at Stade Olympique but which bounced back on the field... Unlucky!
Was at that game too!
If we had today’s rules (to appeal calls), Vlad would have had his 40-40
Él mejor para mí
Just more proof that the Expos had fans. Another good crowd at the Big O.
Well they always had good crowds on opening and closing nights. This was the last game of the season. (At least the final home game)

Canadians they can be wild either it's in Hockey, Wrestling or even Baseball or any other sports events

Lo de Soriano olvidé ponerlo, pero lo de 500 HR de Sosa wow no recordaba eso.
That was one of the worse calls ever and on top of that on such a big potential moment in baseball.
Mánager Frank Robinson RIP
Looks like they filmed in 1987
I was at this game!

Pourquoi la disparition de l'équipe?

I was at that game. What a brutal call my a nobody umpire, stealing an AB for Guerrero that could have been historic.
