Ron Cey is a former third baseman who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1971-82), Chicago Cubs (1983-86) and Oakland Athletics (1987). Cey batted and threw right-handed. He was selected by Los Angeles Dodgers in the 3rd round (53rd overall) of the 1968 amateur entry draft. A popular player, he was nicknamed "The Penguin" for his slow waddling running gait. With the Dodgers, third baseman Cey was part of an All-Star infield that included Steve Garvey (first baseman), Davey Lopes (second baseman) and Bill Russell (shortstop). In a 17-season career, Cey was a .261 hitter with 316 home runs and 1139 RBI in 2073 games. Cey had a terrific 1981 World Series in which he helped spark the Dodgers to four straight victories after they had lost the first two games, including his returning for the clinching Game 6 after having been being hit in the head by a Goose Gossage fastball during Game 5. Cey was named Co-MVP along with Steve Yeager and Pedro Guerrero.
