HAMILTON, Ohio—A city council in Ohio is set to name a park road for local native Jim Tracy, the Colorado Rockies manager.
Council members in Hamilton in southwest Ohio vote Wednesday evening on the resolution and plan to dedicate the road as “Jim Tracy Way” with Tracy present Thursday evening. His Rockies begin a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
The 54-year-old Hamilton Badin High School grad and Marietta College star played for the Chicago Cubs and also managed the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates.
The resolution praises Tracy for bringing “positive notoriety and acclaim” to his hometown.
Tracy and Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook, also a Hamilton native, were honored last year during Hamilton night at a Reds game.
