REMEMBER THE EXPOS?
June 05, 2008
Baseball never really quite caught on in the part of Minnesota known as Montreal, perhaps because the fans had to stand through both the Star Spangled Banner and the Yooper Song. Now the Expos are history, and the franchise has been reconstituted as the Washington Senators, or something.
Nor have things gone well for "the most successful pitcher in Montreal Expos history." Steve Rogers has gone through divorce and bankruptcy since his retirement from baseball. Now the IRS is trying to levy on his baseball pension to satisfy income tax leins for 1982, 1983 and 1985. The tax problems apparently arose from an old equipment leasing shelter he was involved in towards the end of his baseball career.
