Who is Rob Ducey?
Robert Thomas Ducey is a Canadian former outfielder in Major League Baseball.
Raised in Cambridge, Ontario, Ducey graduated from Seminole Community College, and was first signed by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1984. After playing in the Blue Jays' organization from 1987 to 1992, he moved on to the California Angels, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies and Montreal Expos, with a brief return to Toronto in 2000. He ended his 13-year major league career with a .242 batting average and 31 home runs in 703 games.
Ducey was part of a Major League anomaly, being essentially traded for himself during the 2000 MLB season when he was traded by the Phillies to the Blue Jays on July 26. He was then traded by the Blue Jays to the Phillies on August 7.
Ducey was a designated hitter for Team Canada in the 2004 Summer Olympics, which finished in fourth place. He was the first Canadian to have played for both of Canada's MLB teams, the Montreal Expos and Toronto Blue Jays, in addition to the Canadian Olympic team. Matt Stairs, Denis Boucher and Shawn Hill are the only other Canadian players to achieve that goal.
