I agree that Dawson's best seasons were as an Expo...mostly before my time...you could also argue that if he was a Cub those years he might have had more Fame to edge out Schmidt as the MVP. So I get the bitterness on his part. I wouldn't blame Raines either even though for me, his best days were definitely as an Expo. Carter still seems to be the guy most loved by fans....but he won more with the Mets.

sure but Raines doesn't even really have an obvious 2nd team to lean on- would be the White Sox I guess and he had some good years there but absolutely none of his allstar games, MVP votes really anything of note came in Chicago. He won with the Yankees but as a platoon /bench players. While I think Raines (and Dawson) both have legit issues with money, contracts, league collusion etc in their Expos years, I don't see how Raines could lay claim to anyone else (and frankly haven't heard him complain much- he's adored by the weird abandoned expos fan base (present company included) anyways
