Overall Career
Biron Joseph "Ty" LaForest was one of the many players that had their chance in the Majors due to World War II. Ty came out from the Amateur Boston Park League, and made his debut with the Sox on August 4, 1945. He would play 52 games for the Sox the rest of the way, primarily at 3rd Base, and bat a repectable .250/.285/.353 with 7 doubles, 4 triples and 2 HRs. With the ending of WWII, the 28 year old was out of Major League Baseball.
Less than two years later, Ty passed away in Arlington Ma.
