Why this 'misfit' wants to bring the Expos back | The Corner Booth

About this episode

Ashkan Karbasfrooshan discusses his plans to bring back the Montreal Expos despite skepticism.

Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, an entrepreneur who founded online media powerhouse WatchMojo, has dealt with doubters his entire career. And the prospect of bringing the Montreal Expos back after Major League Baseball moved them to Washington after the 2004 season, has brought out the skeptics. But that isn’t stopping Karbasfrooshan, and he joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli to explain just how he plans on succeeding where others, like his neighbour Stephen Bronfman, have failed.
