Here's a hockey-baseball connection. It serves to remind that baseball had a deep tradition in the city right up until the Montreal Expos split for Washington to become the Nationals. It provides a personal historical perspective from former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy"You're my boy blue" Lasorda who became a hockey fan during his stay with the Montreal Royals in its golden era in the 1940s and 1950s. Lasorda recalls the great Habs of the 1950s and reminds Montrealers of a time when the Big Mtl was once a Major League city endowed with a glorious dynasty. Now we're beggars.
Interestingly, not too many people realize this but Montreal had a professional ball team before Los Angeles. Life has a funny way of coming full circle.
