It is always a pleasure to talk with Danny Gallagher, the bard of the Montreal Expos and one of my favorite writers. Over the course of a five decade career in journalism, Gallagher has written about the club for the Montreal Daily News, Ottawa Sun and the Globe and Mail, for whom he also covered the Blue Jays. He has written a shelfful of books, eight about the Montreal Expos. In recent years, he had been publishing compilations of recollections from former Expos about their lives and times in Montreal. His most recent is called Based Loaded: Inside Stories About Eli, Cro, Cy, Terminator, and the Expos and it is filled with great tales from their days in Montreal.
