Ken Singleton began his career with the New York Mets in 1970, where he was a backup, but there was something special there.  The Montreal Expos saw it, as they traded their most popular player, Rusty Staub, for him.

The Montreal Expos were the second team that Ken Singleton played for, which was where he established himself as a bona fide everyday baseball player.  The Expos traded him (which they would regret) to Baltimore, and he would do even better playing in the state of Maryland.

Ken Singleton spent three seasons with the Montreal Expos in the 1970’s and would lead the National League in On Base Percentage in the 1973 season.  Singleton would finish ninth in NL MVP voting that year.
