From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biron Joseph "Ty" LaForest (April 18, 1917 – May 5, 1947) was a Canadian professional baseball player. He was born in Edmundston, New Brunswick.
LaForest is one of many ballplayers who only appeared in the major leagues during World War II. He played third base for the last two months of the 1945 season with the Boston Red Sox, hitting .250 (51-for-204) with 2 home runs, 16 RBI, and 25 runs scored in 52 games. He was an above-average defensive player, making just 5 errors in 147 total chances at third base, and recording 6 putouts (with no errors) in a few appearances as an outfielder.
He died at the age of 30 in Arlington, Massachusetts. He was inducted into the Boston Park League Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986.[1]
