Charles Frederick “Boots” Day takes great pride in having played for the Montreal Expos.

Retired from professional baseball since the end of the 2021 season, Day packed away his cleats and glove after 55 years on the job. He had been serving as the bench coach on manager Andy McCauley’s staff for the Evansville Otters of the Frontier League.
