Plated my final MLB game 51 years ago today at Wrigley Field. Had a hit off Larry Gura, and caught Steve Carlton's 27th win. Carlton was 7-6 with a 2.86 ERA before I was traded to the Phillies. With me catching the rest of Carlton's starts, Lefty was 20-4 with a 1.60 ERA.

In 1970 I missed the first 13 games due to a lacerated kidney . I PH in my first game back, and then started 136 of Expos remaining 147 games. And I finished the season 2nd on the team in hits, 3rd in HR, Triples, Doubles, RBI, TB, SB, and games played. #montrealexpos

July 2, 1970: John Bateman went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and seven RBI as the #expos beat St. Louis 13-10 at Jarry Park. Carl Morton was the winning pitcher and Claude Raymond collected his 13th save.

January 22, 1969, a day that will live in infamy. Astros trade Rusty Staub to Montreal Expos for Jesus Alou and Donn Clendenon. Clendenon refused to go to Houston and play for Harry Walker. Expos sent Billingham and Guinn. Staub would go on to become Canada's hottest male model.

This will be the 48th World Series since the Mariners began play in 1977. They haven't played in any of them. No other MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL franchise all-time has gone that long to begin the franchise's history without reaching the championship round while remaining in the same city.
