Fernando was a beast in his rookie season one of the funnest for the fans I can remember FERNANDOMANIA

I was there that day as an Expo fan. My heart sank when Rick Monday hit the homer. Dodgers were one EXCELLENT team that year!

I was at that game and remember we all said not to bring in Rogers late, they did and Monday broke our hearts. Dave Van Horne was awesome

Love those Expos uniforms, nice to hear Dave Van Horne. Brings back memories...

Como sufría yo cuando le pegaban de hit o carrera. Es que era mi ídolo beisbolero.

I've been collecting baseball ticket stubs for some years , The 1981 NLCS game 5 ticket stub is one of the rarest ticket stubs to obtain , I would certainly loved one for my collection👍

Fernando Valenzuela Is a boss, walks like a boss AND has the Attitude of a boss.He went to the mound fearless AND got the job done walking out like a true boss🇲🇽🥊

What a treat. Thanks for posting. Cheers from Los Angeles ⚾️💙

I wish I could gave seen this game.I was in basic training at the time and my mind was on other things.Four years in the Army.

It has taken me 37 years to find a place to do this, but I must've met that I am the Los Angeles Dodgers fan, and I was really glad that they won the 1981 World Series. But, I have deep family roots in Canada, and I was so tiring in that NL CS in 1981. Of course, I wanted my local Dodgers to win, especially since Fernando Valenzuela was doing so well. But, I've also been keeping up with the Expos, and I knew that they had Gary Carter, Bill Gulliksen, and Company. There were so many on both teams, both were Great teams. Of course, the Dodgers would go on to win the World Series in 1988, and get real close last year. I am so sorry for people in expos nation, if you had such a thing up there, but just on principle I will not cheer for the Washington nationals in anything. They are the Montreal expos as far as I'm concerned, and Washington stole them. I absolutely thought about that during the All-Star game a few weeks ago, that should have been Montréal's second All-Star game, not Washington's first!

Fernando was only 20 he was so clutch!!

Oh what a classic game, one of the best games I've ever watched, besides game 6 of the 75 WS.

This would be the Expos only run in the entire game.

The Monday home run was one of the great moments in LA Dodger history. In my opinion, only second behind the Gibson home run in 1987.

Only NLCS appearance for the Montreal Expos. Not that they didn't have some great teams. Their outfielders were very fast those being Andre Dawson, Warren Cromartie, Ellis Valentine, and the speedy Tim Raines. In 1994 Montreal was cruising in the newly realigned A.L. East with a 6 game lead over mighty Atlanta on Aug. 10 when the strike ended the season. I wonder if the Expos had won the World Series that year, if the strike had never happened, would the Expos still be in Montreal?

Yes tequila 🥃and beer🍻 for victory go dodgers💙

expos were one of my favorite franchises. its too bad their lone chance to appear in the world series was to face the dodgers, my team back then. the city needs a team so it can compete for fanbase with the alouettes of the cfl and the Canadians of the NHL.

Halte la halte la halte la ! les expos sont la !

And to add insult to injury the Expos had the best record in the National League between 1979-82 and no pennant to show for.

Fernando was "all the way live!"

Súper Fernando...

The coloring of the Expos' caps always looked like elb not an M.

The Expos/Nationals finally found redemption in 2019.

great how long teams would stay together then without trading;and rebuilding constantly.

Viva México Cabrones !!!!!!!

They said Fernando was 21 but he was probably 35!

I wish you could have the whole game. Please!!!

damn :)

Olympic Stadium was such a dreadful place for baseball. It's too bad a deal for an adequate stadium was never reached.

The Expos had a really anemic offense at this time. There were several Expos teams considerably better than this one that never made it to the playoffs. The 1979 team to name only one.

Andre Dawson was so not clutch. He had to be the easiest out in the Expos batting order in big games. First inning they have runners on the corners, nobody out and Valenzuela is rattled. A big inning could have driven him from the game. Instead Dawson hits into a rally-killing double play and Valenzuela doesn't give up another run.

Oh no..not Blue Monday..this game kinda disapppointed the hell out of me being a BIG Expos fan back in the day...((..should've just let Burris finish the game..still to this day I have never seen a team use their "ace" (Rogers) to come in and get a save...I understand why they would do that...but in painful hindsight..that's just somethin you dont do..a starting pitcher is just that for a reason..

Russell would have hit 8th for me , if he played at all.

Do you have game 3?

Maybe if it had been a best of 7 the result might have been different.

This vid would of been 1000 times better with Vin Scully anouncing the game and this vid is obviosly filmed by a canuck that had kids that voted for Trudy!!!!
