Alou! Mets! Baseball!

Better chance of having former Expos to root for. Also usually provides you with something to watch when Boston is playing Tampa.

That’s a start. Who other than Pedro has been on each of the Expos, Red Sox and Mets? Not Moises. Not Bill Lee. Kirk Bullinger can live that dream if he were only to pull up his socks and get back into the game.

Fact: Julio Franco enters his 30th professional season tonight.
