Trivia: What city had an MLB team named for its city’s World’s Fair?
Seattle
St. Louis
New York
Montreal
The correct answer is Montreal
So why is this answer correct? : The World’s Fair in 1967 was held in Montreal, and was branded “Expo ‘67.” The event was such a success that when the city got an expansion MLB team in 1969, they were named in its honor: the Montreal Expos. Montreal became the first city to host a Major League Baseball game outside of the United States when the Expos beat the Cardinals 8 to 7 on April 14, 1969, at Jarry Stadium.
