While skeleton may not be a very popular Olympic sport it is without question a dangerous one.  The good doctor would like to figure out a way to protect the lovely “skeleton” of Elena Nikitina who has one worth protecting!

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.

Spending his first six seasons of his MLB career with the Montreal Expos, Javier Vazquez was a good power pitcher who struck out 200 batters twice as an Expo.  Vazquez never quite lived up to his billing as he gave up far too many hits, but was a better than most starting pitchers during his tenure in Montreal.  He had a 64-68 Record with 1,076 Strikeouts with the Expos.

Like Larry Walker, Andres Galarraga would find himself a major star with the Colorado Rockies, but it as a Montreal Expo where he first proved he was a better than average Major League Baseball player.  “The Big Cat” was an All-Star in 1988 and would lead the NL in Hits (184) and Doubles (42) that year.  Throw in a Silver Slugger and two Gold Gloves, and it is easy to see why the Expos fans were upset to lose another budding star, when they knew would not be able to afford him.  Galarraga had 906 Hits, 115 Home Runs and batted .269 for Montreal.
