Ron Fairly played for the Los Angeles Dodgers for nearly 12 Seasons, before he was traded to the Montreal Expos during their expansion season.

It was a good acquisition for the Expos, who needed a veteran who had won at the highest level, and Fairly still could get on base often via the Walk.  In 1973, Fairley went to his first All-Star Game, and with the Expos, he had 86 Home Runs and an OBP of .381 over his five-and-a-half years in Montreal.
