RON GANT EARLY LIFE

Gant was born in Victoria, Texas. Her parents are George Gant, a chemistry teacher, and Alice Hardeman, a special education teacher.

BASEBALL RON GANT

In the fourth round of the 1983 MLB Draft (100th overall), Gant was drafted by the Atlanta Braves. He joined the Braves in 1987 in September, after winning the Bill Lucas Award as the Braves’ minor league player of the year in 1986.

Gant had 22 hits for 83 at bat, including two home runs. During the 1988 season, he was an everyday player for the struggling Braves, who finished with a 54-106 record.

After a disappointing second season in 1989, he was sent to the minor leagues to learn how to play the outfield.

He returned to starting form and roster in 1990 when he hit .303 with 32 homers and 84 RBIs and won National League Player of the Year.

He also stole thirty-three bases in 1990, qualifying for the club 30-30. In 1991 he replicated this feat by joining Willie Mays (1956–1957) and Bobby Bonds (1977–1978) as the only players in Major League history at that time to have two 30 home runs/30 base seasons stolen in a row.

In the 1991 World Series, the Braves lost to the Minnesota Twins. Gant hit .267 in the series, with four RBIs, as the Twins won it in a close and thrilling seventh game.

In 1994, after signing one of the richest contracts in Braves history, Gant broke his right leg in an ATV accident. The Atlanta Braves eventually released him.

Gant didn’t play again until 1995, emerging with the Cincinnati Reds before being signed by the St. Lous Cardinals in 1996. Gant retired in 2003 at the age of 38.
