It is a day that is forever known as Blue Monday as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Montreal Expos 2-1 in Game 5 of the NLCS at Olympic Stadium to reach the World Series. The Dodgers won the game on a home run by Rick Monday off Steve Rodgers in the ninth inning. The Dodgers would go on to beat the New York Yankees in the Fall Classic, while the Expos never again reached the postseason.
