What two NHL hockey teams essentially have the same name after their city?
Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens
What baseball team has never won a championship?
As of the 2010 season:Among currently active MLB teams: Washington Nationals*/Montreal ExposSeattle Mariners* There have been two MLB teams that have gone by the name "Washington Nationals". The first one began play in 1901 and was, at different times, and by different people, called both the "Nationals" and the "Senators". It is pointless to say what their "official" name was because back then, team nicknames were, well, just nicknames. At any rate, this team called Washington, DC home from 1901 to 1960, and they DID participate in 3 World Series, winning one. After the 1960 season, they left DC and became the Minnesota Twins, and have participated in 3 more World Series since, winning two of them.?When the team left in 1960, MLB had an expansion the next year, and the NEW Washington Senators came into being. This team is separate and distinct from the OLD Washington Senators/Nationals. But after just 11 seasons in DC, this team too moved, this time to Texas, where they became the Rangers, and finally, in their 50th season, reached the World Series in 2010.The Montreal Expos began play in 1969, and called Montreal home through the 2004 season. In 2005, they moved to Washington, DC and changed their name to the "Nationals". They never made it to the World Series from either location, and in fact never won a FULL season divisional race (they won the second half of the 1981 season National League, East Division race). 1994 was a promising year for them, until the season was cut short by a player's strike. Again, though, this is NOT the same team as the team that played in Washington from 1901 to 1960 and, occasionally, called themselves the Nationals.
Has any team hit 3 triples in a row same inning in Major League Baseball history?
Yes Montreal expos. Tim Rains, Mike Gates, and Gary Walach Jays just did, Eric Thames, Rajai Davis, and Jayson Nix
Who is the only MLB player in history to have a hit with 2 different teams in the same day?
Joel Youngblood pulled off the unusual feat on August 4, 1982. After driving in two runs with a third-inning single for the New York Mets against the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field, he was traded to the Montreal Expos. He joined his new in Philadelphia in time to get a base hit for the Expos in the seventh inning against the Phillies.
Why is Montreal the sister of Hiroshima?
Hiroshima has been a most gracious sister city to Montreal, going as far as to christen a Montreal Day to honor the sister city partnership (in 2009, Montreal Day was July 12) and Montreal, in turn commemorates Hiroshima by holding a Peace Memorial Ceremony every August 6 at the Montreal Botanical Garden, the same day the atomic bomb devastated the city in 1945.
