Born in 1957 in Huntington Beach, Calif., Tim Wallach is the Expos? all-time leader in several statistical categories, including games played (1,767), hits (1,694), doubles (360), RBI (905) and total bases (2,728). Nicknamed ?Eli? by his teammates, Wallach also ranks third all-time amongst Expos in runs (737) and fourth in home runs (204).
Chosen 10th overall by the Expos in the 1979 amateur draft, Wallach began his big league career as an outfielder before evolving into the best third baseman in the franchise?s history. In 13 seasons with the Expos from 1980 to 1992, Wallach was selected to five all-star games (1984, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1990), won three Gold Gloves (1985, 1988, 1990) and captured two Silver Slugger Awards (1985, 1987). He was also named to the Topps All-Star Rookie team in 1981, topped the National League in doubles in 1987 and 1989 and finished fourth in National League MVP voting in 1987.
Wallach a passé les quatre dernières années de sa carrière dans la région de Los Angeles, d’abord avec les Dodgers et ensuite avec les Angels. Depuis sa retraite en tant que joueurs, Wallach est devenu un instructeur respecté au niveau collégial et professionnel. En 2014, il était l’instructeur sur le banc pour les Dodgers. En 2005, il a été intronisé au Temple de la renommée de son université, Cal State Fullerton, et au Temple de la renommée du baseball collégial en 2011.
