Ronald Charles Cey was born on February 15, 1948, in Tacoma, Washington. He was a multi-sport athlete at Mount Tahoma High School, earning nine varsity letters. Following high school, he attended Washington State University, playing college baseball for two years before being selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third round of the 1968 MLB draft.
Cey made his Major League Baseball debut on September 3, 1971, with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He became an integral part of the Dodgers’ All-Star infield alongside Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, and Bill Russell, a group that played together for eight and a half years. Known for his powerful hitting, Cey was named NL Player of the Month in April 1977 after batting .425 with 9 home runs and setting a major league record of 29 RBIs for that month. He was a six-time All-Star from 1974 to 1979 and contributed significantly to the Dodgers’ four National League pennants during his tenure.
His career highlight came in 1981 when he led the Dodgers to a World Series championship, earning co-MVP honors for his performance. After the 1982 season, Cey was traded to the Chicago Cubs, where he continued to provide veteran leadership, helping the Cubs secure the National League East Division title in 1984 with 25 home runs and 97 RBIs. He concluded his 16-season professional career in 1987 with the Oakland Athletics. Throughout his career, Cey amassed a .261 batting average, 316 home runs, and 1,139 RBIs in 2,073 games. He was inducted into the Legends of Dodger Baseball in 2025.
