The Montreal Expos joined the OOSL in the 1997 round of expansion. Their two year OOSL career record stands at 114-194 for a .370 Winning Percentage -- the worst franchise record to date (pre-1999). All four expansion teams of 1997 were disbanded at the end of 1998 to make way for the OOSL American Association.

The Expos struggled in both their seasons with the league, winning 58 games in 1997 and 57 in 1998. Dick Allen provided some excitement with his long ball prowess in `98, producing 27 homers and driving in 106 runs, both franchise highs, with the latter being some 35 better than the next highest total. As a whole, however, Montreal's imprint on the league is not a deep one.

The Montreal Expos ended with a winning record against the Pittsburgh Pirates (17-14, .548) and the Houston Colt .45's (11-9, .550) -- two franchises that followed them into the nether realms of OOSL disenfranchisement. They also managed to eke out a .500 record against the Philadelphia Phillies (21-21) and the Chicago Cubs (10-10). However, their record against the New York Giants will probably stand forever in OOSL history as a testament to futility -- they were 3-39 vs the Giants for a miserable .071 winning percentage. They went a hapless 0-22 in 1998 vs the New York Nationals. Montreal's history ended with a streak of 28 consecutive losses against New York. Ted "Cork" Wilks was the last of three Expo hurlers to defeat the Giants, escaping with a 5-3 win over Ed Walsh on 08/02/1997. The other hurlers were Tommy Bridges (3-0) and Art Nehf (6-1 -- the first contest between the two franchises).
