Ecstasy to Agony

How the best team in baseball ended up in Washington ten year later

Ecstasy to Agony:The 1994 Montreal Expos: How the Best Team in Baseball Ended up in Washington Ten Years Later traces the fortunes of the Expos from that day in 1989 when the organization's original owner Charles Bronfman decided to sell the team and step away from baseball, through to the team's climb to glory in 1994 and then its final descent into oblivion ten years later.

Written by Danny Galagher and Bill Young, authors of the best-selling Remembering the Montreal Expos, and with a Foreword by award-winning Toronto Sun baseball columnist Bob Elliott, the book provides highlights of the 1994 season, including Pedro Martinez's near perfrct game April 13, Clliff Floyd's golf-shot homer off Greg Maddox June 27, Marquis Grissom's inside-the-park homer August 1, and Larry Walker's 'almost' trade to Baltimore.   

Ecstasy to Agony: The 1994 Montreal Expos also examines the troubled labour relations which took root in the days of Marvin Miller and culminated in the players' strike that began August 12, 1994.

With its broad focus on the ins-and-outs of that final decade, Ecstasy to Agony, the 1994 Montreal Expos should appeal to Expos fans everywhere, from the casual supporter to the fanatical.
