It seems that the Expos wanted to give their fans a lifetime of memories as quickly as possible.
As if the inaugural game at Shea Stadium or the first home opener win at Jarry Park weren’t memorable enough, the Expos quickly adopted a flair for the dramatic in just the franchise’s ninth game, on April 17, 1969. That night, Bill Stoneman pitched a no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies, allowing Nos Amours–a French expression meaning Our Loves–to achieve the feat more quickly than any other team.
