Montreal Expos Ground Rules for Olympic Stadium Baseball Games
The 1992 Montreal Expos Ground Rules from the National League Green Book outlines specific regulations for play at Olympic Stadium, where the Expos had their first game on April 15, 1977. A notable rule states that any ball hitting the roof on the outfield side of the yellow line is considered a home run. The document further clarifies various scenarios affecting play. If a ball goes beyond or strikes the lines in front of designated dugouts and camera pits, it is subject to a book rule. Additionally, a popup or fly ball hitting any of the four designated camera areas is ruled out of play. It specifies that if a ball strikes overhanging speakers in fair territory, it also counts as a home run. Conversely, if the ball hits the speakers in foul territory, it is declared a dead ball.
