LOVERRO: Expos legacy has no place at Nationals Park. No place at all

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Saturday is a big day for the Washington Nationals. They get to dance on the grave of the Montreal Expos.

In a cheap, lazy, thoughtless promotion, the Nationals supposedly will “recognize” their history as the Expos — a franchise that began play in Montreal 50 years ago – by wearing Expos throwback jerseys and other promotions “recognizing” the Expos, in an attempt to get people to come to the ballpark on a Saturday afternoon during July 4th week when they are playing the Kansas City Royals, who also happened to begin play in that 1969 expansion season.
