Mattingly never would have gotten his Series ring and who knows what would have happened if Montreal had been denied that first trip to the Series.
Without that big run to the Series for the Expos, that run that really ignited the fans in the city of Montreal, even though it ended in a Game 7 loss to New York, do you really think they'd have packed Olympic Stadium for all those games to keep guys like Pedro and Walker et al, and win the Series a year later?
Montreal doesn't go to a World Series in 1994, I don't know if Loria would have kept the club together or gone fire sale between seasons, knowing him, and what happened after he sold the club and the whole embezzlement thing?
Wouldn't be surprised if he'd stripped the team like an abandoned Caddy on the South Bronx Expressway....
