Charlie Lea, the only Montreal Expo to toss a no-hitter at Olympic Stadium, died at his home in Collierville, Tenn., on Friday.
Reports indicate that the 54-year-old, former all-star died of a massive heart attack.
Lea, who had been working as a radio analyst with the Memphis Redbirds (St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A affiliate), was interviewed for a story on this blog last September.
In that interview, he vividly recalled his no-hitter.
“I walked four guys, so it wasn’t like it was a perfect game,” he reflected modestly. “It wasn’t the best game I threw in my life.”

New Tenants Association in Bridle Path/Kipps Lane Area
A new Tenants Association has recently formed in the Arbour Glen, Bridle Path, Country Lane and Kipps Lane area. This area of Ward 3 (Councillor Joe Swan) is largely made up of townhouses.
