Jean-Pierre Roy (June 26, 1920 - November 1, 2014) was a Canadian pitcher in Major League Baseball. He pitched in three games during the season for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was born in Montreal, Quebec.
While with the minor league Montreal Royals, Roy played with Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play in the major leagues. Roy retained a friendship with Robinson's widow, Rachel Robinson.
The major highlight of his Montreal years was going 25–11 with a 3.72 ERA in the 1945 season and he compiled an overall 45–28 career record pitching with the Royals.
Roy was later a television commentator for the Montreal Expos from 1968 to 1984 and a public relations representative for the Expos.
He was inducted into the Montreal Expos Hall of Fame in 1995, and the Quebec Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001.
He died on November 1, 2014, at his Pompano Beach, Florida, winter home in the United States, at the age of 94.[1]
