Willy Valdez any good?

Yes, former Vermont Expo Wilson Valdez is very good. Awesome feat! If I have his Vermont baseball card kicking around, I'll scan it and post it tomorrow.

Thanks for nothing expos.

Glad to see the B's take the Cup. Now we can talk about the Phils 7 game win streak and best record in baseball

See you in October!

Well later this month actually, but October too.

Here you go. His teammates on the 2000 Expos included Major Leaguers Jason Bay and Brandon Watson, Vince Rooi (who played for the Netherlands in the 2009 World Baseball Classic), and Ulmer Urbina, brother of the infamous Ugueth Urbina.

And yes, behind him is a stone grandstand with no actual seats. The park, the oldest in use in professional baseball, also lacks a video board, relying solely on a linear scoreboard on the back of the press box for the adjacent soccer field.
