The now-defunct Montreal Expos (!) were the best team in baseball that year. Les Expos had a better record than the Yankees (who were tops in the AL) and were 6 games up on the Atlanta Braves in the NL East (who you might remember were a pretty dominating team back then. At least in the regular season.)

Also of interest: Tony Gwynn finished that shortened season with a .394 batting average, the highest since Ted Williams in 1941. Could he have achieved the elusive .400 if the season had continued?
