This Date in Expos History

It was on June 19, 1990, that the Expos’ Spike Owen — one of the great names in baseball history — set a National League record for shortstops by playing in his 61st consecutive game without making an error.

Getting the record and all is nice,” Owen told reporters, including former Montreal Gazette baseball writer Jeff Blair, after the game, which the Expos lost 2-1 to the Chicago Cubs at Olympic Stadium. “But, to be honest, I was more excited Monday when I tied it because we won the game (beating the Cubs 5-1).

I’m happy with this, though,” Owen added. “Don’t get me wrong. Mostly, I’m happy because to me the record means consistency. That’s what I’m most proudest of.

Owen eclipsed the National League record of 60 set from July 22-Oct. 2, 1988, by the New York Mets’ Kevin Elster. The major-league record of 72 games was set in 1972 by the Detroit Tigers’ Eddie Brinkman.
