History
In 1969 the Montreal Expos were founded as members of the National League as Major League Baseball expanded to twenty-four teams. Filling out their minor league rooster, Montreal announced that Quebec City would host the club's farm system. This was the Expos first sole Double-A affiliate after sharing the Jacksonville Suns with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1970. Quebec joined fellow Canadian franchise, the Trois-Rivières Aigles as new members of the Eastern League.
