Voice of the Expos Silenced: Rodger Brulotte Dies, Leaving a Lasting Legacy
A familiar voice that once brought baseball to life for an entire generation has now fallen silent and the loss is being felt far beyond the ballpark.
Rodger Brulotte, a beloved broadcaster and lifelong ambassador of baseball in Montreal, has passed away at the age of 79. For decades, he was more than just a commentator. He was the heartbeat of a team, a storyteller and a voice that turned every pitch into a moment of drama.
Many remember him for his energy on the microphone, his iconic home run calls and his ability to make listeners feel like they were right there in the stadium. But behind that voice was a man of remarkable versatility. Long before he became a broadcasting icon, Brulotte wore many hats within the Montreal Expos organization. He started as a scout, worked in operations, handled public relations and even helped shape the team’s community presence. He was, in every sense, deeply woven into the fabric of the franchise.

What made him stand out was not just his knowledge of the game, but his ability to connect. He could speak with players, executives, fans, or complete strangers and adapt effortlessly. That rare quality earned him respect across the baseball world and beyond. He wasn’t confined to sports either. In moments of crisis, like during major global events, he stepped up and delivered with the same calm authority, proving he was as much a communicator as he was a sports analyst.
For fans of the Expos, Brulotte became a symbol of continuity and passion, especially during difficult years. When the team eventually left Montreal in 2004, it wasn’t just a franchise that disappeared. It was a piece of identity. And for Brulotte, that loss was deeply personal. He often spoke about it as an ongoing grief, something that never fully healed.
Today, tributes are pouring in from across the sports community. Former colleagues, players and fans are remembering a man who didn’t just describe the game, he made people feel it. He brought joy, excitement and a sense of belonging to countless listeners.
His passing marks the end of an era, but his legacy remains firmly intact. In every excited call, in every young fan inspired by the game, his influence lives on.
