Spring training The Expos held spring training at West Palm Beach Municipal Stadium in West Palm Beach, Florida – a facility they shared with the Atlanta Braves. It was their sixth season at the stadium; they had conducted spring training there from 1969 to 1972 and since 1981.

Regular season May 9, 1982: Spaceman Bill Lee was released after not showing up at a game. Lee did not show up as a sign of protest because the Expos had released second baseman Rodney Scott. August 4, 1982: Joel Youngblood became the first player in history to get hits for two teams in two cities on the same day. Youngblood had driven in the winning run for the Mets in an afternoon game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs, and then singled in a night game for the Expos in Philadelphia after he had been traded. The two pitchers he hit safely against, Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs and Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies, are both in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
