RON CEY
Ron Cey filled a traditional trouble spot when he became the Dodgers’ regular third baseman in 1973, a job he kept for 10 years before being traded to the Chicago Cubs. Nicknamed “Penguin” for his stout build and his waddling gait, Cey helped the club to four National League championships and the 1981 World Series victory over the Yankees. He hit 228 home runs as a Dodger, a record for the Los Angeles franchise.
Cey is now a sports agent and part owner of Beverly Hills-based Total Sports International, which represents about 30 professional athletes. He also makes TV commercials. At 46, he still lives in the San Fernando Valley home he bought when he was brought up to the Dodgers.
BO BELINSKY
Few athletes have captured the fascination of Southland baseball fans as quickly as Bo Belinsky. The brash left-hander pitched the first major league no-hitter on the West Coast as a rookie for the expansion Los Angeles Angels in 1962 and started the season with five consecutive victories. But Belinsky’s carousing with Hollywood starlets soon caught up with him. He finished the year with a 10-11 record and never regained his early form. The Angels traded him to Philadelphia in 1965, and Belinsky retired in 1970 with only 28 victories.
Belinsky, 57, got sober 18 years ago and is the quality-control supervisor at an auto dealership in Las Vegas.
