Albert Lamoreux was born in Transcona, Manitoba on October 3, 1908. Lamoreux was exceptional pitcher in the Winnipeg area throughout his career. His stellar pitching led Transcona to Winnipeg Senior League titles in 1938 and 1939. Lamoreux was also an important part of the team when they won their fifth consecutive Intermediate Crown in 1931. Not only was he a good pitcher, but he also had endurance. Lamoreux once pitched back-to-back games against the Dokey Tigers and Norwood, narrowly loosing to Norwood and winning against the Dokey Tigers by a landslide. The highlight of Lamoreux’s pitching career was the opportunity to pitch against Lefty Grove in St. Boniface. Throughout his career, Lamoreux primarily played for the Elks and Transcona. In 2003 he joined his Transcona teammates Gerry Marcotte and Joe Teres in the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame.
