But the memories aren't dead—not by a long shot. The Expos pinwheel cap is still sported by Montrealers, former fans, and by many more in the US and Canada as a fashion item. Every year there are rumours that Montreal—as North America's largest market without a baseball team—could host Major League Baseball again.\u003cbr\u003e     There has never been a major English-language book on the entire franchise history. There also hasn't been a sportswriter as uniquely qualified to tell the whole story, and to make it appeal to baseball fans across Canada AND south of the border. Jonah Keri writes the chief baseball column for \u003ci\u003eGrantland\u003c\/i\u003e, and routinely makes appearances in Canadian media such as \u003ci\u003eThe Jeff Blair Show\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePrime Time Sports\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOff the Record\u003c\/i\u003e. The author of the\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e baseball bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Extra 2%\u003c\/i\u003e (Ballantine\/ESPN Books), Keri is one of the new generation of high-profile sports writers equally facile with sabermetrics and traditional baseball reporting. He has interviewed everyone for this book and fans can expect to hear from just about every player and personality from the Expos' unforgettable 35 years in baseball.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House of Canada, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012554047728,"sku":"9780307361363","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307361363_p0.jpg?v=1763671840","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307361363","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
