N\u00e9 \u00e0 Kingston en Ontario en 1949, Elliott a \u00e9t\u00e9 initi\u00e9 au baseball par son p\u00e8re Bob et son grand-p\u00e8re Chaucer, tous deux de bons athl\u00e8tes. Joueur de deuxi\u00e8me but, Elliott s\u2019est rapidement rendu compte qu\u2019il n\u2019\u00e9tait pas capable de frapper une balle courbe. Il a alors commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 s\u2019int\u00e9resser aux statistiques. Sa carri\u00e8re de journaliste a d\u00e9but\u00e9 alors qu\u2019il compilait les feuilles de pointage de l\u2019\u00e9quipe senior de Kingston et qu\u2019il les envoyait au journal local, le Kingston Whig-Standard. Ce boulot lui rapportait 100 $ par saison. \u00c0 17 ans, le journal lui a offert un emploi de journaliste sportif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sa m\u00e8re a pleur\u00e9 lorsqu\u2019il lui a demand\u00e9 conseil, elle qui le voyait entrer \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Queen\u2019s. Le p\u00e8re d\u2019Elliott a alors convaincu sa m\u00e8re, mais \u00e0 deux conditions : il devait terminer sa 12e ann\u00e9e et il ne devait pas devenir comme les journalistes de Boston qui n\u2019avaient pas vot\u00e9 pour Ted Williams comme joueur le plus utile \u00e0 son \u00e9quipe en 1941 parce qu\u2019il ne l\u2019aimait pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce n\u2019est que 12 ans plus, alors \u00e0 l\u2019emploi du Ottawa Citizen, qu\u2019Elliott a re\u00e7u sa premi\u00e8re assignation \u00e0 un match des Ligues majeures, la partie d\u2019ouverture locale de la saison 1978 des Expos de Montr\u00e9al. L\u2019infatigable Elliott est rapidement devenu un journaliste respect\u00e9 et toujours bien inform\u00e9 et a couvert les Expos jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019il passe au Toronto Sun et \u00e0 la couverture des Blue Jays de Toronto en 1987.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bien qu\u2019il soit \u00e0 l\u2019origine de plusieurs scoops \u00e0 propos des Blue Jays et des Expos, Elliott est reconnu dans la confr\u00e9rie du baseball canadien pour toujours mettre de l\u2019avant les talents d\u2019ici. Il est le fondateur du site Canadian Baseball Networkwww.canadianbaseballnetwork.com<\/a>qui suit \u00e0 la trace les meilleurs espoirs du pays, les joueurs coll\u00e9giaux et les joueurs des ligues mineures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En pr\u00e8s de cinquante ans de carri\u00e8re, Elliott, maintenant le chroniqueur baseball pour le Toronto Sun, a \u00e9galement pondu trois bouquins : Hard Ball<\/em> sur la vie de George Bell en 1990, The Ultimate Blue Jays Trivia Book <\/em>en 1993 et The Northern Game: Baseball The Canadian Way <\/em>en 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il a \u00e9galement agi comme entra\u00eeneur b\u00e9n\u00e9vole et \u00e9tait du nombre des instructeurs de l\u2019\u00e9quipe de Georgetown qui a gagn\u00e9 le championnat pee-wee en 2007 et bantam en 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 2010, Elliott a re\u00e7u le prix Jack Graney du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du baseball canadien et il est devenu le premier Canadien \u00e0 recevoir le prix J.G. Taylor Spink du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e \u00e0 Cooperstown. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e d\u2019Ottawa-Nepean (2009), au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de Kingston (2013) et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e Okotoks Dawgs\/Seaman Stadium (2014).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab J\u2019ai re\u00e7u de merveilleux honneurs au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Comme journaliste, je ne crois pas que mon uniforme des Pirates de Kingscourt de la Petite ligue ou moi-m\u00eame avons notre place \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 d\u2019eux \u2013 ces gens savaient jouer! J\u2019ai vu jouer les quatre intronis\u00e9s de cette ann\u00e9e. Je me sens humble. Je me sens un peu comme un imposteur. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
