Il \u00e9tait \u00e9galement derri\u00e8re le micro pour les 41 parties des s\u00e9ries de fin de saison de l\u2019organisation, dont le fameux sixi\u00e8me match de la S\u00e9rie mondiale de 1993 qui lui a inspir\u00e9 l\u2019une de ses plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres phrases. Sur le coup de circuit gagnant de Joe Carter en fin de neuvi\u00e8me manche, Cheek a dit \u00ab Touch\u2019em all, Joe. You\u2019ll never hit a bigger home run in your life \u00bb que l\u2019on pourrait traduire par \u00ab Touche-les tous, Joe. Tu ne frapperas pas un autre circuit aussi important de ta vie. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avant d\u2019arriver sur la galerie de presse des Blue Jays, Cheek, qui est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Pensacola en Floride en 1939, \u00e9tait le descripteur rempla\u00e7ant des Expos de Montr\u00e9al de 1974 \u00e0 1976. Son ton riche lui a donn\u00e9 la r\u00e9putation du meilleur descripteur en poste et, \u00e0 ce titre, a re\u00e7u le prix Jack Graney du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du baseball canadien en 2001. En juin 2004, Cheek a manqu\u00e9 son premier match des Jays pour assister aux fun\u00e9railles de son p\u00e8re. Quelque temps apr\u00e8s, on lui a annonc\u00e9 une tumeur au cerveau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En ao\u00fbt 2004, les Blue Jays ont ajout\u00e9 le nom de Cheek \u00e0 leur club d\u2019excellence. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, le Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens a cr\u00e9\u00e9 le prix annuel Leadership m\u00e9dia Tom Cheek en son honneur et en a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier r\u00e9cipiendaire. Pendant plus d\u2019un an, Cheek a combattu un virulent cancer du cerveau avant de s\u2019\u00e9teindre le 9 octobre 2005. Un peu plus tard en 2013, Cheek recevra le prix Ford C. Frick du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e \u00e0 Cooperstown, remis annuellement \u00e0 un descripteur qui a grandement contribu\u00e9 au baseball.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":808,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","featured":[],"induction_year":[128],"team":[59,32],"primary-position":[167,74],"class_list":["post-806","hall-of-famer","type-hall-of-famer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","induction_year-128","team-montreal-expos","team-toronto-blue-jays","primary-position-announcer","primary-position-broadcaster"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tom Cheek - 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\/tom-cheek\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_CA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tom Cheek - Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Cheek broadcast 4,306 consecutive Toronto Blue Jays games from April 7, 1977 to June 2, 2004.
