Apr\u00e8s avoir g\u00e9r\u00e9 les demandes m\u00e9diatiques entourant l\u2019arriv\u00e9e de Robinson, Simmons a port\u00e9 plusieurs chapeaux dans les bureaux de la ligue au cours des 20 ann\u00e9es suivantes. Son avis \u00e9tait souvent demand\u00e9 par rapport aux contrats des joueurs, aux finances et au personnel. Le bureau chef de la ligue, autrefois \u00e0 New York, a d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al en 1953. Simmons et sa famille ont d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 Cartierville, en banlieue de Montr\u00e9al, l\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante et y sont demeur\u00e9s jusqu\u2019en 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule-making was also one of Simmons\u2019 key duties while employed by the International League. The determined administrator would master the art of schedule-making before the age of computers. Considered a pioneer in the field, Simmons would also create schedules for Major League Baseball (MLB) for more than 20 years, and eventually leave the International League to work in an advisory capacity for the MLB commissioner. Montreal councillor, Gerry Snyder, also consulted Simmons when he was attempting to land a major league franchise for his city in the late \u201960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c9galement \u00e9crivain, historien et fin connaisseur des r\u00e8glements, Simmons a \u00e9t\u00e9 longuement responsable de la section baseball dans l\u2019Encyclop\u00e9die Britannica et de la chronique \u00ab Alors vous croyez conna\u00eetre le baseball \u00bb (So You Think You Know Baseball) dans les pages du Saturday Evening Post de 1949 \u00e0 1961. Ces chroniques ont plus tard servi \u00e0 la publication d\u2019un livre vendu \u00e0 plus de 500000 exemplaires. Connu par plusieurs comme \u00e9tant M. Baseball, Simmons a re\u00e7u le prix du roi du baseball lors des assises des Majeures tenues \u00e0 Toronto en 1979. Il a aussi re\u00e7u le prix sp\u00e9cial SABR en 1990 et \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e international des sports juifs en 2007.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1071,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","featured":[],"induction_year":[139],"team":[],"primary-position":[177,73],"class_list":["post-1070","hall-of-famer","type-hall-of-famer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","induction_year-139","primary-position-builder","primary-position-executive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Harry Simmons - Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/fr\/hall-of-famer\/harry-simmons\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_CA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Harry Simmons - Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Harry Simmons\u2019 unrivalled knowledge of baseball history, rules and statistics landed him a job with the International League in 1946, the same historic season that Jackie Robinson played his first year of integrated baseball with the Montreal Royals.
