The Tragic Story of Willie Davis: And Other Expos Vignettes

By Danny Gallagher

Relive the glory days of the Montreal Expos.

In his eleventh book on the Montreal Expos, Danny Gallagher presents more events from the baseball team's storied history, including Ty Cline's appearance as the first Expo on a Topps baseball card, Andre Dawson's remarkable 1983 season, and Charlie O'Brien's transformation of the catcher's mask.

These vignettes from Expos history are framed by a penetrating look at centre fielder Willie Davis, whose career featured brilliant play and erratic behaviour. Through interviews with Davis's family and others, Gallagher paints a more balanced picture of the life of this exceptional player, both on and off the diamond.
