In the end, though the MLB probably could have supported Montreal more, they had to do what they had to do. The damage was already done from the owners the MLB bought the team from.

Out of the possible relocation sites for the Expos, Washington was the best choice and the baseball fans in DC, Virginia, and Maryland should be happy to have an NL club in their area. Now you'll be able to see Barry next year on his quest for 756.
