Winnipeg Whips
August 12, 2017
The Winnipeg Whips were an ill-conceived Class AAA farm club of the Montreal Expos that played one-and-a-half seasons in Manitoba in 1970 and 1971. The team arrived in mid-season 1970 when the Montreal Expos grew exasperated with the condition of their International League farm club in Buffalo, New York. Winnipeg never really fit in the International League – their closest opponent was 982 miles away in Louisville, Kentucky. The franchise moved to Virginia after the 1971 season.
