\"Ron<\/a>Montreal – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of 1988 inductee Ron\u00a0Pich\u00e9\u00a0earlier this afternoon.\u00a0 The Quebec baseball legend lost a lengthy battle with complications from cancer.\u00a0 Following his outstanding career the hard throwing right-hander became a scouting director with the Montreal Expos and became such an ambassador that he earned the nickname “Monsieur Baseball.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pich\u00e9, 75, is survived by Helen\u00e9, his partner of 20 years, his daughter Christine, his son Luc, and his grandson Jonathan.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Ron was and will remain a true baseball icon in Canada, because he was a gentleman who represented everything that is great about the game and the industry,” said Ball Hall president & CEO Tom Valcke.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “His passion and pride for Canadiana were second to none.\u00a0\u00a0 Everybody loved Ron Pich\u00e9! \u00a0As\u00a0far as being a supporter of what we do here, it was never more evident than when\u00a0he suffered a terrible automobile accident on his way to St. Marys two years ago to attend\u00a0the induction ceremony, and when he was being removed from his vehicle\u00a0by the emergency crew using the jaws of life,\u00a0he asked them to please not damage the\u00a0Hall of Fame blazer that he was wearing.\u00a0 He will be dearly missed but will always serve as an inspiration to all of us.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The young French Canadian, following an\u00a0extended minor league career where he compiled\u00a0130 wins and a 2.96 ERA, made his\u00a0major league debut\u00a0on May 30, 1960 with the Milwaukee Braves, suiting up\u00a0alongside Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn and Eddie Mathews.\u00a0 The Verdun, Quebec native notched nine saves that season and continued to be an effective option out of the Braves’ bullpen for the next three seasons.\u00a0 In 1963, he appeared in 37 games and recorded a career-best 3.40 ERA.\u00a0 He also pitched for the California Angels in 1965 and the St. Louis Cardinals in 1966.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
