In the 80s, Don Zimmer was my favorite Cubs manager. Besides his being a decades-long student of the game and a living baseball resource, Zimmer didn't take any crap from anyone. Watching Zimmer once go after Dave Parker (more than a foor taller than Zim & half his age), it was clear that he was a man with no fear. Popeye is a baseball legend.

[@donarthiazi2443]

If Zim had met Parker in an abandoned alley with no team to hold-him-back then I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be too anxious to have a go at big Dave. Having said that, I fully agree with you about him being my favorite manager. He had a deep knowledge of the game and of baseball players. I'm not positive but I think he once said that he had never earned a single penny in his life outside of the game 🤗

@Scooby Carr: It was the province of Quebec that refused to fund the proposed Labatt Park -- an understandable position for a jurisdiction in near-constant recession during the 1990s and early 2000s, still stuck with paying off Olympic Stadium. Meanwhile, one owner (Claude Brochu) never passed up an opportunity to rip the Big O and tout a new stadium, which turned fans off the existing venue (even more than its soulless concrete design and decentralized location) -- not to mention his cheapskate partners trading off star players and turning the team into a punching bag. Another owner (Jeffrey Loria) allowed the Expos' option on land designated for the stadium project to expire, effectively sounding the death knell for the franchise. Lot more villains in the Expos' demise than "Canada."

[@jasonhicks800]

patrick hagan The expos barely outdrew the Cubs and that was b/c there was a huge capacity difference in the stadiums back in 1980s (almost 10K - 46,500 to 37,700), dome stadium avoid weather issues which limited ticket sales during cold/wet/hot days and no night games at Wrigley until 1988 which was very limited even then. Early and late in the season the day games were always half full b/c of kids in school and people working. Cubs always seemed to lose a game or two that never got made up b/c of weather. Didn’t expand seating until 1988 and it was just a few hundred seats and I think 1200 total into the 90s during that renovation before this new ownership totally renovated.

Perez would do weird 💩 while on the mound like throw the old eephus pitch or try to pick off the runner on first by throwing between his legs. His younger brother Carlos Perez who pitched for the Expos in 95 and also 97-98 would do similar antics on the mound when striking out a batter. “Carlos Pérez was a highly animated player, especially when he was on the mound. Beginning in his rookie year, after every strikeout (and sometimes even after individual strikes), he made spastic movements, usually flailing an arm into the air while crouching very low to the ground and hopping in a semicircle (in the case of a strikeout, Pérez would react in unity with the umpire who was signaling the strikeout motion). Sometimes batters took offense to it while others realized or knew that it was just part of his routine”.
