Short documentary on Expos 1st game ever, against the Mets at Shea and Expos 1st home game at Jarry Park. Shea footage is from original WOR broadcast. See Tom Seaver on the mound, Amos Otis, Rusty Staub and those Montreal classic powder blue road uniforms. Plus, a Dave Augustine style bizarro homerun where the ball lands on the top of the outfield wall, but doesn't bounce back to the outfielder, instead landing on the other side of the wall, in the bullpen, like it's supposed to.
