Washington Nationals Honor The Montreal Expos' Hall of Fame Outfielder Andre Dawson.
"He's a great guy, who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame with all the numbers he put up, and it's great he did it with the Montreal Expos," former Expos' and current Nats' pitcher Livan Hernandez, who spent one season playing alongside Andre Dawson with the Florida Marlins in 1996, said of the...
