Retired Numbers - Montreal Expos

 Before baseball came to Toronto, there was another city that laid claim to baseball's first Canadian team. Tragically, the Montreal Expos don't exist anymore. The franchise moved to DC and became the Nationals, and while the Nats took the teams legacy and division titles, they decided to forget about any retired numbers. The NHLs Montreal Canadians have more respect for the four Expos immortals than the former team does.
(I'm aware that 3 of the 4 cards here have an inaccurate Expos logo. Will fix ASAP when the bot allows their original logo in the proper card formats...it's all a bit complicated)

#8 - Gary Carter

Gary Carter began his Hall of Fame career in Montreal and spent 12 years accumulating all 3 Gold Gloves, 3 of 5 Silver Sluggers and 9 of 11 all star nominations. When elected to the Hall of Fame, he took pride in becoming the first member to enter wearing an Expos hat.

#10 - Rusty Staub

Daniel "Rusty" Staub became the 1st big name in Expos history when the expansion franchise traded to bring Staub over in 1969 from a Houston team he had disagreements with. In the 3 seasons in Canada, he made the all star team every time and became a big hit with the local fans by literally speaking their language (French), earning his nickname "Le Grand Orange". Later in his career he would return briefly in 1979 as well. His #10 became the first number retired in Expos history.

#10 - Andre Dawson

The Hawk spent the first 11 seasons of his Hall of Fame career with the Expos. He went to 3 all star games, won 6 straight Gold Gloves from 1980-1985, got 3 Silver Sluggers and was the 1977 Rookie of the Year. His 225 Home Runs were an all time Expos record until Vladimir Guerrero came along. In 1997, a year after his retirement, the Expos honored his number.

#30 - Tim Raines

In an era dominated by the speedster that was Rickey Henderson, Tim Raines had carved out his own legacy that was also ultimately recognized with a trip to the Hall of Fame. From the start of his career in 1979 to 1990, Raines was a star in Canada, making 7 all star teams as well as winning the 1986 Batting Title and Silver Slugger. The name of the game for Tim was speed as he led the league in Stolen Bases every year from 1981 to 1984, topping with 90 in 1983. After his career took him elsewhere and briefly delayed in a battle with lupus, he found himself returning to Montreal in 2001. By the end of that season he gotten traded away to Baltimore so he could play on the same team as his son.
