Well at one time, you know we *DID* have an NL baseball team here as well as
the Red Sox. Said NL team now then moved to Millwaukee, then to Atlanta. I'm
speaking of the Braves, of course.

I think if the Expos moved to Boston, and performed well, say, for instance
they win 100+ games or got to the NLCS, or the World Series, and if the Red
Sox continue to do their usual second-half-of-the-season choke, then I think
the Expos could receive some media interest.

I don't think it would be much of a problem to find play-by-play radio and
TV outlets in Boston.
Pure speculation on my part, but on the radio side WWZN (1510) or 'TKK
(96.9) might be interested,IMHO.
