[edit] History, Comments, Contributions
The Montreal Expos had the best record in baseball in 1994 and appeared to be headed to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. They were led by a pitching staff that included Ken Hill, who won 16 games, and a young Pedro Martinez. Outfielder Moises Alou hit .339 with 22 home runs. However, the Expos' playoff aspirations were ended by a player's strike which shortened the season and caused the postseason to be cancelled. As a result, Montreal fans were left wondering what might have been. Ten years later, before the final game to ever be played at Olympic Stadium, the 1994 Expos were posthumously honored with the title of Best Team in Baseball.
