Rusty Staub’s 1st Home Run as an Expo

This is the first home run hit by all-time Montreal Expos favorite, Rusty Staub, as an Expo. On the Official National League Warren Giles baseball Rusty (known as Le Grand Orange) wrote: “Home Run No. 1 as a Montreal Expo Player. Opening Day New York Mets off Alvin Jackson April 9, 1969”.
This was the first game ever played by the Expos, and the second home run in franchise history (Catcher Dan McGinn hit the first one innings earlier).
