Is there ANY other Expos in the HOF?

MLB might want some rememberance of what was a breeding stock for really good players
Shocked?

Guy plays 11 years in Montreal to the Cubs 6 and you are shocked?

Waiting for Greg Maddux to be inducted as a Brave.

His major accomplishments were all with the Cubs, plus if he wasn't on the Cubs, he wouldn't be in the HOF.

I understand Maddox going in as a Brave, ALOT of his accomplishments were AS A BRAVE!

Dawson got in on his numbers. His one MVP didn't lock him in there, or Dale Murphy would be in the Hall. Most of his best outings were in Montreal.

Dawson had 1,575 of his 2,774 hits as an Expo, won six of his eight Gold Glove awards in Montreal and led the Expos to their only postseason series win with a five-game victory over the Phillies in 1981.

One of Four guys to have 400HR's and 300SB's (250 came in Montreal)
5 of 6 seasons in a row as a 20/20 player. All in Montreal. I know knees were going out by 1985.

Edit: Whoops and Rookie of the Year

MVP 1987 Cubs
Finished 2nd in 1981 to Mike Schmidt
Finished 2nd in 1983 to Dale Murphy

3 of 4 Silver Sluggers in Montreal.

Outside of 1987 his best seasons were in '80, '81, '83. The MVP voting confirms it.
