The 2003 Montreal Expos season was the 35th Major League Baseball (MLB) season for the Montreal Expos, and the team's penultimate season in Canada. The team competed as members of the National League East. The Expos played most of their home games at Olympic Stadium in Montreal, while also playing 22 home games at Estadio Hiram Bithorn in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[1]
On August 28, 2003, the Expos were tied atop the Wild Card race of the National League, with several other teams all having a .526 winning percentage.[2] However, the team faded during in the stretch and failed to make the postseason, finishing 18 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East and 8 games behind the Florida Marlins in the Wild Card race. The Expos' season record of 83–79 (.512) was identical to the one they finished with the previous season. When rosters expanded on September 1, MLB refused to allow the league-owned team to add any players.[3]
