The Heart of a Champion: Ron Cey's Story | HarmonyTALK #97

Everyone has a dream. For many young boys, the dream is to become a major league baseball player. Years back, this was especially true for a little boy growing up in Tacoma, Washington. Harmony Talk is honored to share the story of the journey of legendary third baseman, Ron Cey. Known to many as “the Penguin”, Ron played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball. Although best known for covering the “hot corner” for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ron also played for the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics. He was a six-time All-Star, had over 300 career home runs, was World Series Champ and Word Series MVP. Cey at third base, Bill Russel at shortstop, Davey Lopes at second base and Steve Garvey at first base lasted for nearly nine seasons for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This remarkable feat is a celebrated piece of baseball history that hasn’t been matched since and may never be again.

Throughout Ron’s journey from dreaming to doing there were many lessons learned and many interesting encounters along the way. From growing up as boy chasing a dream and the struggles that go along with that to making it to the big leagues and playing under legends like Tommy Lasorda, Ron has an incredible story to tell.

In this episode, hear Ron in a memorable conversation with host Greg Frigoletto, as they discuss the story of the little boy from Tacoma who became the author, podcaster and celebrity that he is today. Check out Ron’s podcast, the Ron Cey Show as well as his book, an autobiography titled Penguin Power…a book about Dodger Blue, Hollywood Lights and Ron’s One-In-A-Million Big League Journey.

Ron currently lives in in Woodland Hills, CA with his wife Fran. They were married in 1971 and have two children, Daniel and Amanda.
