Jim Fanning a pass\u00e9 60 ans de sa vie dans le baseball professionnel, touchant \u00e0 tous les aspects : joueur, g\u00e9rant et ambassadeur. D\u2019abord, les Cubs de Chicago l\u2019ont embauch\u00e9 en 1949 comme receveur. Il a jou\u00e9 64 parties avec le grand club au cours de quatre saisons. Il a ensuite d\u00e9but\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re de g\u00e9rant. Apr\u00e8s des arr\u00eats \u00e0 Tulsa, Dallas, Eau Claire et Greenville, le membre du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du baseball canadien John McHale l\u2019a nomm\u00e9 d\u00e9pisteur sp\u00e9cial pour les Braves de Milwaukee en 1963. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 promu comme assistant au directeur-g\u00e9rant. Il conservera ce poste jusqu\u2019en 1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les qualit\u00e9s de recruteur de Fanning en ont impressionn\u00e9 plusieurs, dont les dirigeants du baseball, qui l\u2019ont nomm\u00e9 en 1968 le premier directeur de la centrale du recrutement des Majeures. Il n\u2019aura cependant pas occup\u00e9 ce poste bien longtemps puis qu\u2019il est devenu le premier directeur-g\u00e9rant des Expos de Montr\u00e9al au mois d\u2019ao\u00fbt 1968.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his 25-year tenure with the Expos, Fanning helped build the franchise from scratch and served in several different capacities, including vice-president, scout and even two stints as the field manager (1981-82, 1984). When Fanning took over as the field boss in 1981, he had drafted or helped develop the skills of 21 players on the roster. The respected baseball man would guide the Expos to their first and only playoff berth in 1981, leading the team to within one win of advancing to the World Series. In his quarter century with the Expos, he established himself as one of baseball\u2019s best talent evaluators, counting fellow Canadian Baseball Hall of Famers Larry Walker, Steve Rogers and Tim Wallach among the players he helped sign. He also played an important role in signing Andres Galarraga and Randy Johnson for the club. After leaving the Expos in 1993, he was hired as a special assignment scout with the Colorado Rockies. He was employed as an ambassador of amateur baseball with the Toronto Blue Jays. Jim passed away April 25, 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
