2015 Inductee Bios<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Carlos<\/a>Carlos Delgado<\/strong><\/p>\n

N\u00e9 en 1972 \u00e0 Aguadilla \u00e0 Porto Rico, Delgado a \u00e9t\u00e9 embauch\u00e9 \u00e0 titre d\u2019agent libre par les Blue Jays de Toronto en 1988. Apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9but\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle au poste de receveur, en plus de se retrouver au champ ext\u00e9rieur \u00e0 l\u2019occasion, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 mut\u00e9 au premier coussin et est devenu l\u2019un des plus prolifique joueur offensif de la concession. Avant d\u2019atteindre les Majeures \u00e0 la fin de la saison 1993, il a re\u00e7u les titres de joueur le plus utile au niveau A (1992) et au niveau AA (1993).<\/p>\n

Delgado became a regular with the Blue Jays in 1996 and would star with the club for the next nine seasons. During that stretch, he had eight consecutive, 30-home run campaigns, was selected to two all-star games (2000, 2003), won three Silver Slugger Awards (1999, 2000, 2003), a Hank Aaron Award (2000) and was named The Sporting News Major League Player of the Year (2000). He also finished second to Alex Rodriguez in the American League MVP voting in 2003. Not only did Delgado lead the Blue Jays in numerous offensive categories, he also topped the American League in doubles (57) and total bases (378) in 2000 and in RBI (145) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.019) in 2003. On September 25 of that same year, he also became the first Blue Jay \u2013 and 15th<\/sup> player in major league history \u2013 to belt four home runs in a game.<\/p>\n

Il d\u00e9tient \u00e9videmment plusieurs records de concession et se retrouve au premier rang pour les circuits (336), les points produits (1058), les doubles (343), les points marqu\u00e9s (889), les buts totaux (2786), la moyenne de puissance (,556), les coups s\u00fbrs pour plus d\u2019un but (690) et les buts sur balles (827). Il est en deuxi\u00e8me place pour la moyenne de pr\u00e9sence sur les buts (,392) et les matchs jou\u00e9s (1423). Pour toutes ces raisons, les Blue Jays l\u2019ont honor\u00e9 en 2013 en l\u2019int\u00e9grant \u00e0 son club d\u2019excellence.<\/p>\n

After leaving the Jays following the 2004 season, Delgado extended his string of consecutive 30-home run seasons to 10 with the Florida Marlins and New York Mets. He finished his career with 473 home runs (31e<\/sup> all-time) and 1,512 RBI (52e<\/sup> all-time) in 17 big league seasons.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur du terrain, Delgado s\u2019est grandement impliqu\u00e9 dans des causes sociales. En 2001, il a mis sur pied l\u2019organisme sans but lucratif \u00ab Extra Bases \u00bb pour le soutien des jeunes de Porto Rico. Pendant son s\u00e9jour \u00e0 Toronto, il a pr\u00eat\u00e9 son nom aux Olympiques sp\u00e9ciaux et \u00e0 Easter Seals. En 2006, il a re\u00e7u le prix Roberto Clemente, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par les Ligues majeures, pour son aide envers les causes humanitaires et son exemple sur le terrain.<\/p>\n

\"Corey<\/a>Corey Koskie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Anola, Man., in 1973, Koskie was a multi-sport star in high school, excelling in baseball, hockey and volleyball. After choosing to focus on baseball, he honed his skills at the National Baseball Institute in Surrey, B.C., in 1993 before he was selected in the 26th<\/sup> round of the 1994 MLB amateur draft by the Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-3 slugger played parts of five seasons in the minors prior to making his big league debut on September 9, 1998. He became a regular with the Twins the following season when he hit .310 and belted 11 home runs in 117 games \u2013 a performance that earned him a spot on Topps\u2019 1999 All-Star Rookie team.<\/p>\n

But his true breakout season would come two years later, when he scored 100 runs, socked 26 homers, collected 103 RBI and swiped 27 bases to become the first third baseman in American League history to record at least 100 runs, 25 homers, 100 RBI and 25 stolen bases in the same season. For his efforts, he was named co-winner (with Larry Walker) of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame\u2019s Tip O\u2019Neill Award. In the ensuing three campaigns, he never hit less than 14 home runs in a season and he helped the Twins to three consecutive playoff berths.<\/p>\n

Le 14 d\u00e9cembre 2004, il a sign\u00e9 un contrat avec les Blue Jays de Toronto et cognera 11 circuits en 97 matchs avec la formation canadienne. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9chang\u00e9 aux Brewers de Milwaukee avec qui il a frapp\u00e9 12 longues balles en 76 parties avant de subir une commotion c\u00e9r\u00e9brale qui allait mettre fin \u00e0 sa carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Au cours de ses neuf saisons dans les Majeures, Koskie a jou\u00e9 989 matchs, plus que tout autre joueur originaire du Manitoba, et pointe au septi\u00e8me rang des frappeurs canadiens pour les circuits (124) et la pr\u00e9sence de moyenne sur les buts (,367) et huiti\u00e8me pour la moyenne de puissance (,458). Il est le joueur de troisi\u00e8me but canadien qui a jou\u00e9 le plus de matchs \u00e0 cette position et est en premi\u00e8re place chez ses compatriotes \u00e0 cette position pour la moyenne au b\u00e2ton, les circuits, les points produits et la moyenne de pr\u00e9sence sur les buts. Il a aussi port\u00e9 les couleurs du Canada lors des Classiques mondiale de 2006 et 2009.<\/p>\n

En 2011, Koskie a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du baseball du Manitoba et au Panth\u00e9on des sports du Manitoba en 2013.<\/p>\n

Au cours de sa carri\u00e8re, Koskie a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9 dans plusieurs causes caritatives et soutient toujours la fondation des Twins. En 2001, il a re\u00e7u le prix Carl R. Pohlad, des Twins, pour son implication communautaire.<\/p>\n

\"Matt<\/a>Matt Stairs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Saint John, N.B., in 1968, Stairs grew up in Fredericton and has returned to live in the city following his playing career. Stairs was hoping to become a professional hockey player until he sustained a serious knee injury in high school. When he recovered, he decided to focus on baseball and he honed his skills at the National Baseball Institute in Surrey, B.C. and with Canada\u2019s junior national team. In 1988, he competed for Canada in the Olympics and hit .362 at the Baseball World Cup and was named the tournament\u2019s top shortstop.<\/p>\n

Ses succ\u00e8s sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale ont convaincu les Expos de le signer en tant qu\u2019agent libre en 1989. Il a pass\u00e9 quatre saisons dans les rangs mineurs et a finalement fait ses d\u00e9buts avec le grand club le 29 mai 1992. Au cours des quatre saisons suivantes, il fera r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement la navette entre le niveau AAA et les Expos, les Dragons de Chunichi (Ligue centrale du Japon) et les Red Sox de Boston avant de signer un contrat avec les A\u2019s d\u2019Oakland le 1er d\u00e9cembre 1995.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 sa premi\u00e8re campagne en Californie, Stairs a cong\u00e9 10 circuits en 61 parties. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, il a r\u00e9ussi 27 longues balles et maintenu une moyenne de pr\u00e9sence sur les buts de ,386. En 1998 et 1999, il a ajout\u00e9 26 et 38 circuits respectivement et produit plus de 100 points chaque fois, devenant le premier canadien \u00e0 r\u00e9ussir deux saisons cons\u00e9cutives d\u2019au moins 25 circuits et 100 points produits. \u00c0 la fin de la saison 2000, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9chang\u00e9 aux Cubs de Chicago.<\/p>\n

Au cours des 11 saisons suivantes, Stairs a port\u00e9 les couleurs de dix \u00e9quipes diff\u00e9rentes, dont les Blue Jays de Toronto pour les campagnes 2007 et 2008. C\u2019est \u00e0 ce moment qu\u2019il est devenu l\u2019un des meilleurs frappeurs d\u2019urgence des Majeures. Dans ce r\u00f4le, il a frapp\u00e9 un record de 23 circuits. Son circuit le plus m\u00e9morable, en tant que frappeur suppl\u00e9ant, est survenu en huiti\u00e8me manche du quatri\u00e8me match de la s\u00e9rie de championnat de la Ligue nationale de 2008, avec deux retraits au tableau. Son circuit de deux points, contre le releveur #1 des Dodgers de Los Angeles Jonathan Broxton, pla\u00e7ait les Phillies en avance dans le match et leur permettait de prendre les devants dans la s\u00e9rie. Les Phillies allaient plus tard gagner la S\u00e9rie mondiale.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 la fin de sa longue carri\u00e8re de 19 ans, la plus longue pour un joueur de position canadien, il a frapp\u00e9 265 circuits, le deuxi\u00e8me plus haut total pour un joueur du pays (Larry Walker est le premier avec 383). Il se retrouve \u00e9galement au deuxi\u00e8me rang pour les matchs jou\u00e9s (1895) et les buts sur balles (717), troisi\u00e8me pour les points produits (899) et les doubles (294) et est l\u2019un des quatre Canadiens \u00e0 avoir jou\u00e9 pour les Expos et les Blue Jays (tout comme Shawn Hill, Denis Boucher et Rob Ducey). Il a aussi port\u00e9 les couleurs du Canada lors des Classiques mondiale de 2006 et 2009.<\/p>\n

For his efforts, he was elected to the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. Since retiring as a player, he has served as a studio analyst for the Boston Red Sox and is currently a TV analyst for the Philadelphia Phillies. He continues to be very active in charitable endeavors, including organizing an annual golf tournament that raises money for the Fredericton Minor Baseball Association and the Fredericton SPCA. He also volunteers his time as a baseball and hockey coach.<\/p>\n

\"Felipe<\/a>Felipe Alou<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alou a \u00e9t\u00e9 associ\u00e9 aux Expos de Montr\u00e9al pendant 27 des 36 ann\u00e9es d\u2019existence du club, autant \u00e0 titre de joueur, d\u2019instructeur que de g\u00e9rant. L\u2019homme, grandement respect\u00e9 de tous, est devenu instructeur chez les Expos apr\u00e8s une carri\u00e8re de joueur qui a dur\u00e9 18 ans o\u00f9 il a maintenu une moyenne au b\u00e2ton de ,286, frapp\u00e9 2101 coups s\u00fbrs et invit\u00e9 \u00e0 trois matchs des \u00e9toiles. Il a jou\u00e9 19 parties pour les Expos en 1973.<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 en 1935 \u00e0 Bajos de Haina en R\u00e9publique dominicaine, Alou est devenu un g\u00e9rant vedette chez les Expos apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 engag\u00e9 en 1976. Il a d\u2019abord dirig\u00e9 au niveau A et AA avant d\u2019\u00eatre appel\u00e9 avec le grand club par Dick Williams pour les saisons 1979 et 1980.<\/p>\n

Il a fait un autre s\u00e9jour dans les mineures, menant la formation AAA de Denver en 1981 \u00e0 un championnat et \u00e0 Wichita l\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante. Il a fait un bref retour \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al et est retourn\u00e9 diriger au niveau AAA, \u00e0 Indianapolis en 1985. De 1986 \u00e0 1991, il \u00e9tait le ma\u00eetre des Expos de West Palm Beach au niveau A, o\u00f9 il a gagn\u00e9 le championnat dans la Ligue de la Floride et \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 le g\u00e9rant de l\u2019ann\u00e9e. Le 22 mai 1992, les Expos ont fait de lui leur g\u00e9rant.<\/p>\n

En acceptant ce poste, Alou devenait le premier g\u00e9rant dominicain de l\u2019histoire des Majeures. En dix saisons \u00e0 la t\u00eate de la formation, il a r\u00e9colt\u00e9 691 victoires, un record de concession, alors que le club vivait de continuelles difficult\u00e9s financi\u00e8res. Malgr\u00e9 tout, les \u00e9quipes d\u2019Alou ont termin\u00e9 \u00e0 trois reprises en deuxi\u00e8me position (1992, 1993 et 1996) et \u00e9taient en premi\u00e8re place en 1994 lors du d\u00e9clenchement de la gr\u00e8ve des joueurs. Il a re\u00e7u le titre de g\u00e9rant de l\u2019ann\u00e9e en 1994 et a dirig\u00e9 la formation \u00e9toiles de la Nationale en 1995.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir quitt\u00e9 l\u2019organisation des Expos, Alou a \u00e9t\u00e9 instructeur pour les Tigers de D\u00e9troit en 2002 et a ensuite dirig\u00e9 les Giants de San Francisco de 2003 \u00e0 2006. En 2006, il est devenu le premier g\u00e9rant latin \u00e0 gagner 1000 matchs. Depuis 2007, il est un conseiller sp\u00e9cial aupr\u00e8s du directeur-g\u00e9rant des Giants Brian Sabean. L\u2019ann\u00e9e 2015 marque sa 60e saison dans le baseball professionnel.th<\/sup> in professional baseball.<\/p>\n

\"elliott<\/a>Bob Elliott<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Kingston, Ont., in 1949, Elliott was introduced to baseball by his father, Bob, and grandfather, Chaucer, both of whom were superb athletes. A second baseman who discovered early in his teens that he couldn\u2019t hit the curveball, Elliott turned his attention to baseball statistics. His career in journalism began when he started compiling box scores for Kingston\u2019s senior team and submitting them to the Kingston Whig-Standard \u2013 a job that paid him $100 for the season. When he was 17, he was offered a job as a sports reporter by the paper.<\/p>\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

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

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

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

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

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
