starting up
I'll be playing the role of Carter Raines Dawson, a young GM hired by Expos owner Charles Bronfman to lead the team in their first years as an expansion franchise. Bronfman, who made his money in the liquor business, has been pushing to get baseball back in Montreal for years, but at the age of 90, he may not be around much longer. He looks to be on the frugal side, but also fairly hands-off.
The Expos will play in Labatt Park, a beautiful new retractable-roof stadium in the Peel Basin. It looks to be a neutral park overall.
The Beavers are owned primarily by former Nike executive Craig Cheek, and they'll start play in Nike Field, an open-air stadium which looks to be a pitcher's park overall.
