Municipal Stadium
West Palm Beach, FL
Ten years ago today, the West Palm Beach Expos played their last game in Municipal Stadium. In front of over a thousand fans, the Class A affiliate of the Montreal Expos lost 4-1 to the Vero Beach Dodgers.
The team began in the spring of 1969 and won two Florida State League Championships in franchise history. The second of those championships came in 1991 - the season that Dad brought me to my first WPB Expos game, which was also the first professional baseball game I ever attended.
After the 1997 season, the team moved 15 miles away to become the Jupiter Hammerheads. They remained affiliated with the Montreal Expos through the end of the 2001 season. Presently, the Hammerheads are the Class A team of the Miami Marlins.
