Jacques Doucet

From BR Bullpen

• Born March 8, 1940 in Montreal, QC, Canada

The play by play voice of the Montreal Expos on French radio and television was Jacques Doucet. Beginning as a translator for the Canadian Press, Doucet became a sportswriter for La Presse de Montréal where he worked for ten years before being hired by the Expos.

In 1972, Doucet was teamed with color commentator Claude Raymond. The pair worked together for thirty seasons on both television and radio. Doucet called Expos games until the team moved to Washington in 2005.

Currently, Doucet works for Encore Baseball Montreal, which is dedicated to keeping baseball alive in Quebec and is the radio broadcaster for the home games of les Capitales de Quebec.
