    I remember going to a ton of Expos games same with the Rockford Cubbies and the Rockford Reds. I use to have a ton of bats and jerseys from these teams. I might still have a few packed away in my mom's basement. I can check the next time I'm back that way. True story - Johnny Damon gave me a signed bat when he was with the Expos after a game. I remeber thinking who is this guy - I ended up using it to hit rocks with in my back yard. What can you do - I was around 11 at the time..

    Definitely let me know if you do come across any of those jerseys. Great story about Damon! I remember he was always a gracious signer and even then you could tell he was going to be something. I remember having signed team balls from every year the Expos played in Rockford all of which found there way to the fierce games played in my back yard as a kid.
