Good morning

This is my first post on this Message Board. Since I use to be an Expos fan, it is fitting that it would be on this forum.

I am a sports fan in general, but I have a soft spot for baseball because I have spent many days and evenings at Jarry Park and at the Big "O".

I look forward to getting to know this MB and it's members.

Who is your all-time favorite Expos' player?

The first Expo player I remember is Ron Fairly. My favorite is Gary Carter. I remember seeing him as the Expos' All-Star representative in the 1975 mid-summer classic in Milwaukee.

My favorite is Gary Carter. I remember seeing him as the Expos' All-Star representative in the 1975 mid-summer classic in Milwaukee.

I remember that Manager Walter Alston (Dodgers) tried to get every National Leaguer into that 1975 All-Star game. I also remember that rookie Gary Carter made a late inning apperence in that game as a Leftfielder and I believe someone hit a fly ball towards him and he recorded the last Put Out of the game. The memory of Carter patroling the outfield sticks in my mind as a very strange sight, indeed. Upon looking it up, however, Carter actually played a majority of his games in the outfield that year (92 in the OF as opposed to 66 at C) , the only year where he played a significant number of games at any position other than Catcher. He still ranks fourth on the all-time list for Games at Catcher, holds the National League record for games caught, and he is one of only five players to appear at Catcher in at least 2,000 games - (I. Rodriguez, C. Fisk, B. Boone, G. Carter, J. Kendall).

Later in his career with the mets....davey Johnson on some very rare occasions used to have Carter start at 1st base....and i'm pretty sure he started a game in the outfield once as well for the mets (I believe it was April 1986......id have to look it up)

According to baseball-reference.com Gary Carter played a smattering of games at first base throughout his career. His career totals for a 19-year career (1974-1992) are 2056 games at Catcher, 137 games in the outfield (132 games as a leftfielder), and 76 games at first base, and 3 as a thirdbaseman. The most games he ever played in the outfield in a season was 92 in 1975 for Montreal. The most games he played at first base in a season were 25 games for Montreal in 1984, followed by 10 games for the Mets in 1988, 10 games for the Dodgers in 1991, and 9 games for the Mets in 1986.

Who is your all-time favorite Expos' player?

Timothy Raines was my favorite Expos' player. It was always very exciting to watch him once he was on base. He was often able to turn a single into a single plus two stolen bases..
