Former Montreal Expos third baseman Tim Wallach will be inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame this summer as part of a distinctly Expos-flavoured class of 2014.

Joining the five-time all-star are former Expos general manager Murray Cook, longtime Expos broadcaster Dave Van Horne and veteran Canadian scout, the late Jim Ridley.

The induction ceremony will take place June 21 at the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in St. Marys, Ontario.

Wallach, a native of Huntington Beach, Calif., played 13 seasons in Montreal from 1980 to 1992 and is the Expos’ all-time leader in games played (1,767), hits (1,694) and RBI (905).

Currently the bench coach of the L.A. Dodgers, Wallach won three gold gloves and finished fourth in National League MVP voting in 1987, when he led the majors with 42 doubles while posting an .858 OPS.

In a conference call with reporters, Wallach recalled the disappointment of “coming within a pitch of going to the World Series” in 1981, when the Expos lost Game 5 of the NLCS to the L.A. Dodgers on a ninth-inning homer by Dodgers outfielder Rick Monday.

Wallach also said the Expos teams he played on were more closely knit than any other in his baseball career, due in part to the isolation of playing in a different country.

“We were pretty much all, I guess you could say, foreigners,” he said. “We were all together and we spent a lot of time together.”

Van Horne, who currently works as the lead radio broadcaster for the Miami Marlins, was the voice of the Expos from the club’s inception in 1969 through to the end of the 2000 season. Still known for his trademark “Up, up and away!” home run call, the Pennsylvania native’s most famous call came on July 28, 1991, in Dennis Martinez’s perfect game when he proclaimed, “El Presidente, El Perfecto!”

Cook, born in Sackville, N.B., played four years in the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system before joining the Pirates’ scouting and player development ranks. He became just the second Canadian general manager in major league history in 1984 when he was hired by the New York Yankees. He left before the end of the season, however, and was named Expos GM. He describes the three years he spent at the Expos’ helm as “the best I had in my 52 years in the game.”

Cook, who has worked as a major-league scout since 1990, also served as GM of the Cincinnati Reds after his tenure in Montreal.

Ridley, a Toronto native, enjoyed a brief stint playing in the Milwaukee Brewers’ minor-league system before embarking on a coaching and scouting career that spanned more than 30 years. He began his scouting career with the Detroit Tigers in 1973 before joining the Blue Jays in ’76. He spent 26 years as a Jays’ scout and was the driving force behind the club’s signing of several Canadian players, including Paul Spoljaric and Rob Butler.

Ridley, who died of cancer on Nov. 28, 2008, also coached Canada’s national junior team from 1983 to ’88 — winning two bronze medals — and served as a national team coach at the Olympics and Pan Am Games.
