Je t'aime Quebec. Dany Laferriere, mars 1997. Perhaps some baseball lore would help. Montrealers celebrated that 501h anniversary in 1996, a year ahead of the United States. In those days, Robinson said Montreal was the only city where if you saw a bunch of white people running after a black man, it was to kiss him.
History repeats itself.
Felipe Alou, General Manager of the Montreal Expos and one of only four minority managers in the game, recently had a heated debate with San Francisco Giants' General Manager Dusty Baker who had accused Montreal players of stealing signs. Alou considered it an insult to Expo hitting coach Tommy Harper, an African American.
