We, the undersigned, strongly encourage the commissioner of Major League Baseball to officially recognize the Montreal Expos as the 1994 world champions of baseball.

The strike of 1994 began August 12th, when the National League-leading Montreal Expos had a baseball-best record of 74-40 -- a game and a half better than the New York Yankees of the American League.

On September 14th of that year, Baseball cancelled the remainder of the season, including the '94 World Series. Most baseball experts believe the Expos would have advanced to the Series and most likely would have been victorious, giving Montreal its first MLB championship.

Many believe the disappointment of that season ultimately led to the demise of the Expos franchise in Montreal.

Today, any list of all-time baseball champions excludes any mention of a 1994 champ.

While it's true that no World Series was played that season, we believe the team with the best record -- especially considering that 70% of the season had been completed -- should be recognized as the official 1994 MLB World Champion.

We further ask that Major League Baseball host a formal ceremony to occur during the 2009 World Series -- celebrating the Montreal Expos' only world championship exactly 15 years prior.

The strike cost the Expos a championship and ultimately led to the demise of baseball in Montreal. They were 74-40 and improving at the time of the stoppage. Several star players - Walker, Grissom, Hill and Wetteland - never played another game for the Expos after the strike. The team went from first to worst in the NL East the next year, and only managed to break .500 in 3 of their last 10 seasons. Thus far, the only acknowledgement of the team\'s accomplishments has been a banner that was hung on the Olympic Stadium outfield wall before their last ever home game that read \"Best Team in Baseball 1994\". It was promptly torn down after the game. The fact that they aren\'t acknowledged in the record books in some meaningful way is a travesty.
