Donn Clendenon ends his retirement and reports to the Montreal Expos

April 3, 1969, first baseman Donn Clendenon ends his retirement and reports to the Montreal Expos. Clendenon will eventually be traded twice during the season, first Clendenon refuses to report to his new team after being traded, along with Jesus Alou to the Astros; the Expos resign their reluctant first baseman. Montreal will send Jack Billingham, Skip Guinn, and $100,000 to the Astros to complete the deal that brings Rusty Staub north of the border. Clendenon then will eventually be traded to the New York Mets. Clendenon will hit 12 home runs for the Mets and help them win the World Series
