Gerald Vigier was born in Notre Dame, Manitoba on June 10, 1927. Vigier pitched for Notre Dame from 1946-65, and then managed and coached the team until 1976. Vigier and his team won the South Central Baseball League title twice. They once struck out 16 St. James hitters in one game, and another time they fanned 14 Stan Evans Orioles. Vigier was the main organizer for the prestigious Notre Dame tournament. In 1954, Notre Dame won this tournament with Gerald Vigier and Gus Pantel pitching. On several occasions, other teams would pick up Vigier for tournaments. Vigier fondly remembered many of his catchers throughout the years, including Bill Dunn, Shorty Sanderson, and Henry Daudet.
