It’s the 50-year anniversary of the Montreal Expos’ inaugural 1969 season, and already the 15th season since the franchise relocated to the nation’s capital in 2005, and for the first time on Saturday the Washington Nationals wore the old bleu, blanc, et rouge to celebrate Expos Day in Nationals Park, and they invited one of the all-time great players from the eMb days to throw out the first pitch.
Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero appreciated the invitation and the Nationals’ decision to recognize the history of Nos Amours by wearing throwback uniforms after they’d already added some Expos to the Ring of Honor in Nationals Park in previous seasons.
