Highlights: n a year of transition new stars like Marquis Grissom and Larry Walker take over for the departed Tim Raines, as the Expos would also see a change in the dugout when Manager Buck Rogers is replaced by Tom Runnels. In addition the Expos see a change at the very top when Charles Bronfman, owner of the Expos from its infancy announces he is through with baseball, and sells the team to a group of local investors led by Claude Brochu. The season would have one bright spot during a weekend series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. On Friday July 26th Mark Gardiner pitches nine inning of no hit baseball before losing the game and the No-No in the 10th inning. However there would be no stopping Dennis Martinez just two days later as he would pitch the first perfect game in Expos history, EL PERFECTO! July 28, 1991. However, the season is filled with more losing then winning as a concrete pillar collapses at Stade Olympique, forcing the Expos to play the entire last month on the road. 71-90
