Definately the owners. I'm sure there were a lot of 'Nat's fans who were PO's when the Twins won in '65 after having been so lousy in Washington from the 30's though the 50's.

I'm not as angry about this move as I normally would be. Being a Brooklyn Dodgers fan (even though I was born in 1966), I'm no friend of those who would move teams. However the case of the Expos is different. Montreal's and Quebec's English speaking population, the backbone of the Expo's fan base have been slowly driven out by hostile Quebec Party (Parti Quebecious) governments in Quebec City. They are now in Toronto or Alberta and are Blue Jays fans. It's a real shame what happened to a once great baseball town.

Washington, First in War, First in Peace, ? in the National League.

FYI the NL had a team in Washington until 1899 when the league folded four teams, Cleveland, Louisville, & one I can't remember being the others.
