Description

Relive the glory days of the Montreal Expos.

In his eleventh book on the Montreal Expos, Danny Gallagher combines vignettes from the team's storied history — including Charlie O’Brien’s transformation of the catcher’s mask, Andre Dawson’s amazing 1983 season, and an exclusive interview with outfielder Milton Bradley — with an in-depth look at centre fielder Willie Davis, the Expos' player of the year in 1974. Through interviews with Davis's fellow players and family members, Gallagher presents the story of a talented player who was overlooked by the Baseball Hall of Fame and who struggled with addiction and other problems away from the diamond.

Showcasing Gallagher's vast knowledge and passion for the Expos, The Tragic Story of Willie Davis takes readers on another fascinating tour of the team's history.
