Praise for The Extra 2%: "The rise of the Rays over the last half-decade has been so improbable it seems as if it was done by magic. It wasn't. It took hard work, know-how, luck, and--as the title of this book suggests--those little moves on the margins that make all the difference. The Extra 2% is far from a financial research paper, though--it is a fun, lively, and very smart read that might just make you into a Rays fan." Will Leitch, author of Are We Winning ? "Jonah Keri has given us a fascinating look at how the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays became winners. The Extra 2% is a captivating book if you love baseball, but it's an even more captivating book if you love success."

Synopsis
The definitive history of the Montreal Expos by the definitive Expos fan, the New York Times bestselling sportswriter and Grantland columnist Jonah Keri. 2014 is the 20th anniversary of the strike that killed baseball in Montreal, and the 10th anniversary of the team's move to Washington, DC. But the memories aren't dead--not by a long shot. The Expos pinwheel cap is still sported by Montrealers, former fans, and by many more in the US and Canada as a fashion item. Expos loyalists are still spotted at Blue Jays games and wherever the Washington Nationals play (often cheering against them). Every year there are rumours that Montreal--as North America's largest market without a baseball team--could host Major League Baseball again. There has never been a major English-language book on the entire franchise history. There also hasn't been a sportswriter as uniquely qualified to tell the whole story, and to make it appeal to baseball fans across Canada AND south of the border. Jonah Keri writes the chief baseball column for Grantland , and routinely makes appearances in Canadian media such as The Jeff Blair Show , Prime Time Sports and Off the Record . The author of the New York Times baseball bestseller The Extra 2% (Ballantine/ESPN Books), Keri is one of the new generation of high-profile sports writers equally facile with sabermetrics and traditional baseball reporting. He has interviewed everyone for this book (EVERYONE: including the ownership that allowed the team to be moved), and fans can expect to hear from just about every player and personality from the Expos' unforgettable 35 years in baseball. Up, Up, and Away is already one of the most anticipated sports books of next year., The definitive history of the Montreal Expos by the definitive Expos fan, the New York Times bestselling sportswriter and Grantland columnist Jonah Keri. 2014 is the 20th anniversary of the strike that killed baseball in Montreal, and the 10th anniversary of the team's move to Washington, DC.

A Unique Trip Through Baseball History
I'm a Brewers fan, so I don't have an emotional investment in the Expos. But this was different than other baseball books I've read. It was almost as much a read on Quebec history as the Expos, and a good tribute to the 1994 World Series champion that never was, but should have been.

Remembering the Montreal Expos
Great fun re-living the stories of the Montreal Expos and all the great major leaguers that played for that franchise from 1969 through 2004.
