Description: The Montreal Expos (French: Les Expos de Montréal) was a baseball team located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from 1969 until 2004. After the 2004 season, the franchise was relocated by their owners to Washington, D.C. and became the Nationals. The team retained a portion of the Expos’ records, player contracts, and minor league affiliates, as well as their spring training complex in Viera, Florida. The Expos’ logo was one of the more unique in baseball history, featuring a stylized “M” for Montreal, also forming a red “e” for Expos, and a blue “b” for baseball, coming together as “Montreal Expos Baseball” though it’s often said to read “elb” as and stand for “Expos League Baseball” which despite its popularity, is incorrect.
Description: The Havana Sugar Kings were a Cuban minor league baseball team that played from 1946 to 1960. Founded as the Havana Cubans by Senators' scout, Joe Cambria, they played in the old Class C (later Class B) Florida International League. The 1947 Cubans were recognized as one of the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time. In 1954, Roberto "Bobby" Maduro bought the team, moved it to the International League, and renamed it the Sugar Kings. From 1954 until 1960, they belonged in the Class AAA International League. Fidel Castro was a big baseball fan and often attended Sugar Kings games at their home stadium, El Gran Estadio del Cerro, (often called Gran Stadium) in Havana. In fact, Castro had been a pitcher during his college days.
