The music for Lead-Off Man was the "Billboard March" was composed by John N Klohr in 1901 as a circus march.

As a Cubs fan I admired both the Expos and Pirates and the fact that they consistently fielded quality players. And the Expos' and Pirates' uniforms both home and away - very outstanding. Plus the way Chicago honored Canada when the Expos came to town still has an emotional feel to me.

It's funny to think the Expos are now the Washington Nationals. It's weird seeing Andre Dawson with them, considering he later played with the Cubs. It's also odd seeing the national anthems just played, no one singing them.

I’ve noticed that way back when, when you had multipath interference like this, the “stripes” were on the left side of the screen, but by the 2000s, they were in the middle for us. I wonder if cable vs. antenna has something to do with it.
