The Wednesday Quiz

The Mets take on the Washington Nationals in a four-game series starting tomorrow, so here's a quiz that involves intertwining players and events in the two franchise's histories (so, yes, that means a lot of questions about the Montreal Expos). The answers will be posted tomorrow.

↵

2. The last game in Expos history was also played at Shea Stadium, on Oct. 3, 2004. The two players who played center field for Montreal that day would both later go on to play for the Mets. Who were they?
