Part II - the second half of my conversation with Montreal Expos historian Danny Gallagher! @dannogallagher7 (X)
Danny dishes on more juicy Expos stories, including the 22-inning affair in Montreal between the Expos & Dodgers (8/23/89); former owner Claude Brochu, manager Felipe Alou, Pascual Perez, Tim Wallach, part-timer Jamey Carroll & many more!
"A bunch of those guys in the clubhouse hated Dennis Martinez (because he was always mouthing off in the media)," Danny said about El Presidente. "And the guys in the left-hand corner like Spike Owen and Tom Foley, they'd hate me when I'd go over and talk to Dennis Martinez."
We also talk about the chapter in his book Explosion titled "Olympic Stadium bullshit."

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
