Rusty Staub (Le Grande Orange) was an original Montreal Expo and had such great popularity over those three seasons he played there (though he did come back for a cup of coffee late in his career) that the team retired his number. Staub would be an All-Star those three years and would put up an On Base Percentage over .400 as an Expo.
