HAMILTON, Ohio—A city council in Ohio is set to name a street for local native Jim Tracy, the Colorado Rockies manager.
Council members in Hamilton in southwest Ohio vote Wednesday on the resolution and plan to dedicate the renamed street with Tracy present Thursday evening. His Rockies begin a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
The 54-year-old graduate of Hamilton Badin High School also has managed the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Tracy and Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook, also a Hamilton native, were honored last year during Hamilton night at a Reds’ game.
City officials say Tracy has not only been a success story, but he also has shown admirable character and continues to support his hometown.
