The Montreal Expos participated in their first season in Major League Baseball in 1969. The Expos, as typical for first-year expansion teams, finished in the cellar of the National League East Division with a 52–110 record, 48 games behind the eventual World Series Champion New York Mets. They did not win any game in extra innings during the year, which also featured a surprise no-hitter in just the ninth regular-season game they ever played. Their home attendance of 1,212,608, an average of 14,970 per game, was good for 7th in the N.L.
The Montreal Expos participated in the 1968 Major League Baseball expansion draft on October 14, 1968.
