Alou Brothers
A nice history of the Alou brothers.?
When Felipe was managing the Expos, he'd be #1, maybe #2 (Moises Alou might beat him out) in getting the loudest ovations from the fans. He was the face of the team. He was fiercely loyal to Montreal, even turning down a deal with the Dodgers to stay in Montreal. He married a woman from Quebec, and I think he still lives there.
And since I'm reminiscing, hats off to Pedro Martinez, for giving the fans of Montreal a shout-out while champagne was being poured over his head after he won the World Series. Pedro also returned to Montreal the year after he was traded to Boston, to give a special gift to Felipe.
I love these guys who have a special place in their heart for Montreal.
