Norman McRae always had a passion for baseball. When he was 17, the Detroit Tigers recruited him to play in the minor leagues. Within three years, McRae moved up to the majors. He pitched 34 innings for the Tigers from 1969 to 1970 and appeared on a rookie baseball card.
McRae was then traded to the Washington Senators, where he played for two more seasons. From 1972 to 1981, McRae pitched in the Mexican League. When he could no longer perform on the field, McRae became a coach for Los Dorados and a recruiter for Tomateros de Culiacan.
McRae died on July 25 from cancer. He was 55.
