Jean Claude Marc Raymond was a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves, Houston Colt .45's/Astros and Montreal Expos. He was one of the few baseball players to wear glasses and, as he came from Quebec, he was nicknamed "Frenchy". Although the White Sox won the 1959 American League pennant and the Braves won the 1969 National League Western Division, Raymond pitched only in three games for Chicago in early 1959 and was released by the Braves to Montr�al in August 1969. He was named to the 1966 National League All-Star Team. In 12 seasons he had a 46?53 record, appeared in 449 games, started 7 games, recorded 2 complete games, 270 Games Finished, 83 Saves, 721 Innings Pitched, 711 Hits Allowed, 338 Runs Allowed, 293 Earned Runs Allowed, 75 Home Runs Allowed, 225 Walks Allowed, 497 Strikeouts, 28 Hit Batsmen, 32 Wild Pitches, 3,048 Batters Faced, 54 Intentional Walks, 4 Balks and a 3.66 ERA. Claude was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984. Although he was traded from the division-leading Braves to the upstart Expos, Raymond remarked that it was one of the happiest moments of his life, as he was able to play for his home province.
