Quebec Carnavals
The Quebec Carnavals were one of two minor league baseball expansion franchises awarded to the province of Quebec during the winter of 1970-71. Both the Carnavals and Les Aigles de Trois-Rivieres were members of the Class AA Eastern League, which grew from six clubs in 1970 to eight in 1971 with the expansion into Francophone Canada. The Carnavals served as a farm team for the Montreal Expos and helped to develop future stars such as Gary Carter, Warren Cromartie and Steve Rogers.
