Le Grand Orange, RIP

[unassuming]

One of the most popular Expos ever , Rusty Staub has passed at 73.

RIP

 

[Insidious Von]

Quite possibly the most popular Expo, he even had a dish named after him.

 

[Insidious Von]

He helped the Expos in more ways than one, he was traded to the Mets for prospects. One of them was Andre Dawson.

I remember as a kid going to Jarry Park to watch him play. By far and away their best player. 73 seems way too young.

Am I the only person who clicked on this in the hopes of reading news that the world’s greatest President had died?

 

[rev]

I was not a baseball fan but was a fan of his. Great player who enjoyed the game and it showed. RIP.

RIP Rusty. A colourful character. And a very good MLB hitter a career .292 BA. Just looking at his stats he actually stole 12 and 9 bases for the Expos in 1970 and 1971. LOL.
