Ron Gee, born in Tacoma in September of 1954, played his high school baseball at Clover Park from 1970-73, earning all-league honors and playing in the area all-star game as a senior. He also played for the Lakewood Rotary summer ball team, including the regional title teams of 1972 and 1973. Gee earned all-conference honors in his one season at Green River CC (when the team won the 1975 state community college title), and also as a senior at Whitworth College in Spokane in 1977. Baseball provided the venue for his participation in tours to the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Canada, Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines. An outstanding centerfielder, Gee has stayed involved in the game as a player since his college days. His recent teams included the Tacoma Lookouts, Cardinals and Aztex, and he currently plays for the Tacoma Wizards. Gee has coached baseball at one level or another since 1977. He remains the coach at Bellarmine Prep, where he started in 1988.
