Three RBI greats honoured by Montreal Canadians upon the event of Youppi!'s return to action!

"Sporting a Canadiens jersey with the No. 10 he wore as an All-Star outfielder with Montreal from 1976-86, Dawson was greeted with a standing ovation, as was Carter, the only player inducted into the Hall of Fame as an Expos player, who followed wearing his familiar No. 8.

With the mascot's help, the two unfurled a powder blue banner reading "Expos de Montreal, 1969-2004" and sporting the team's logo along with the four retired jerseys: Dawson, Carter, Tim Raines' No. 30 and Rusty Staub's No. 10."

I would love to see pictures of the Dawson, carter, and raines Habs jerseys.

And for those of you who didn't already know, the Habs purchased the rights to Youppi! last month.

Stupid question coming. Do with my post what you will, you bastards...

Why the fuck are they called the Habs?  Is that some gay, french/canadian/bonny thing?

Hab = Habitates

[fknmclane]

Hab = Habitates

Really,thanks a bunch. That's a huge help.

Okay...so why the fuck do they call them the Habitates or whatever?  Because they habitate in CAnada?

[Gerlost]

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Habs : Habitates :: Mets : Metropolitans

In the 17th century those that founded or explored the area that is now Montreal, at the time refered to as "New France" were called the Les Habitantes

Like most things in life, McLane, we can blame the French.

Attez is correct. Les Habitants. (spelling correction)
