. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Playing for the first time in Olympic Stadium, after moving from smaller Jarry Park, the Expos drew the largest crowd in their history, 57,592, but spoiled the home opener by losing to the Phillies, 7-2. Jay Johnstone knocked in two runs for the Phils with a double and Greg Luzinski accounted for two more with a homer. Ellis Valentine drove in both runs for the Expos with a homer and infield out.
