Perry Giannias says the two biggest loves in his life are his family and the Expos.

So he decided to combine them both this weekend as Major League Baseball returns to Montreal with the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox playing exhibition games Friday night and Saturday afternoon at Olympic Stadium.

Giannias will be at both games, but he wanted the weekend to be more about Nos Amours, so he came up with the idea for ExposFest. The event will be held Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at Plaza Centre-Ville with former Expos Vladimir Guerrero, Andres Galarraga, Jose Vidro, Ellis Valentine, Marquis Grissom and Steve Rogers in attendance. VIP tickets — which include autograph sessions — are sold out, but general-admission tickets are still available for $7. One child younger than 12 can be admitted free with each adult.

About 106,000 tickets have been sold for the two games, ranging in price from $24 to $99.50. This marks the third straight year that the Blue Jays will play a pair of exhibition games in front of huge crowds at the Big O.

“I understand people’s excitement, but it’s an exhibition game,” Giannias said. “It’s like going to a rock concert. It’s just an event and we need more than just an event. I know it shows that we’re able to support baseball and stuff like that. But we’ve shown that now. I think it’s time to move on.

“I’m beyond the Blue Jays games … it’s cool and all,” added Giannias, who dreams of the Expos returning one day with a downtown ball park. “But I want to celebrate my team and I want everybody to remember the Expos, and hopefully this is just another part of maybe getting them back. My little piece to making people remember that we’re Expos fans, we’re not Blue Jays fans.”
