Talk:Montreal Expos

message: Regarding this edit: in itself, I agree that Bronfman's ownership of other teams is not a key fact for this article. However I think an assessment by Bronfman of the sports landscape in Montreal at the time might have some relevance, if a citation can be found. (It's not something I specifically remember being discussed at the time, but I may have missed it.) isaacl (talk) 19:14, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: No mention of the Tampa Bay Rays held a home-game series in Montreal in the summer of 2019. Not just the Blue Jays want an all-Canadian fan base, the Rays used Montreal like a summer home. Interestingly, we knew the Expos held home games in Puerto Rico in 2002-04 seasons, now the Blue Jays in the COVID pandemic uses Buffalo as their home field, other than it's their triple-A affiliate city. The shared city plan lasted one season though. <ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/12/04/tampa-bay-rays-shared-city-plan-with-montreal-is-dead/<.ref> I don't know this link should be included in the article. 2605:E000:100D:C571:8C36:F847:196F:592 (talk) 21:40, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: And TO in Buffalo is only due to the country not allowing baseball players in just to play baseball due to Covid. So not really the same situation at all. -DJSasso (talk) 01:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

message: I'm not understanding the Keri references...it points to a web article, but the footnotes are listing pages and pages.  Can someone please explain, because this seriously doubts the citations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.172.107.34 (talk) 19:24, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. It looks like an error in the citation template.  The references in the form of "Keri, 2014, p. nnn" are supposed to link to the book listed in the general references section.  However, since both the book and the Globe article are by the same author with the same publication year, it seems the citation template is simply assuming the first link it finds is the reference link.  Have to admit, I don't quite remember how to fix this. Resolute 22:57, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Regarding the note added for Larry Walker in this edit and the similar note for Pedro Martinez: does anyone have sources indicating that these players were elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame "mainly" on the basis of their performances for the Rockies/Red Sox? The hall of fame blog post on Martinez's induction cites Martinez's influence on baseball in Canada. With Walker being Canadian and a genuine star for the Expos, I don't think more explanation is required, particularly unsourced. isaacl (talk) 16:08, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
