Tracy Donald Jones (born March 31, 1961) is a former professional baseball outfielder who played for five Major League Baseball teams from 1986 to 1991.[1]

Career

[edit]

Jones played at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and was drafted by the New York Mets in the 4th round of the 1982 amateur draft, but did not sign. In January 1983, Jones was selected as the first overall pick of the secondary phase of the amateur draft by the Cincinnati Reds.

Jones debuted with the Reds on April 7, 1986, with the Reds hosting the Philadelphia Phillies. In his first at-bat, he flied out facing Hall-of-Famer Steve Carlton. In his next at-bat, he walked, and his next time up he singled off Carlton for his first hit.[2] In 1987, he had his most productive season as he played in 116 games, batted .290, and stole 31 bases.[3]

In 1988, Jones was traded with Pat Pacillo to the Montreal Expos for Jeff Reed, Herm Winningham, and Randy St. Claire.[4]

Jones would later be traded to the San Francisco Giants (for Mike Aldrete), the Detroit Tigers (for Pat Sheridan), and the Seattle Mariners (for Darnell Coles). He played his final game with the Mariners on October 6, 1991.

Jones was co-host (with Eddie Fingers) of a popular afternoon radio show on radio station WLWinCincinnati and co-host with longtime Reds' announcer Marty Brennaman on "Brennaman & Jones on Baseball."[5][6] He was fired and/or laid off September 8, 2017, according to press reports.[7]

Jones is also owner of Tracy Jones Financial, a financial services planning firm. He lives in Bellevue, Kentucky, with his wife, Denae.[8]

Jones' son, Hunter, was drafted in the 11th round of the 2010 MLB first year player draft by the Cleveland Indians.[9] He played for two seasons on the Indians' Arizona League rookie league team and in 2012 he played for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers Indians' Class A affiliate in the New York–Penn League.[10][11] He was one of nine players released by the Indians on March 23, 2013.[12]
