Cromartie, Warren, 1953-

MLB outfielder and first baseman. Following his playing days, Warren was a broadcaster with the Florida Marlins from 1997 to 2002. In 2003 and 2004, he was a guest analyst on English-language radio broadcasts of Expos games. In 2005, he took the reigns of the Japan Samurai Bears of the Golden Baseball League as manager. In 2012, Cromartie founded the "Montreal Baseball Project", a group dedicated to bringing MLB back to the city where he had enjoyed his greatest success. The group sponsored a thorough economic feasibility study that outlined the costs and potential returns of MLB in the city. In March 2014, he was instrumental in bringing in the Toronto Blue Jays to play a couple of exhibition games against the New York Mets at Stade Olympique.--baseball-reference.com.
