}} Ronald Joseph Karkovice (born August 8, 1963, in Union Township, Union County, New Jersey) is a former Major League Baseball catcher. Drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 1st round of the 1982 MLB amateur draft, Karkovice would make his Major League Baseball debut with the Chicago White Sox on August 17, 1986, and appeared in his final game on September 26, 1997. He was called "Officer Ron Karkovice" by White Sox broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson due to Karkovice's physical resemblance to a stereotypical patrol officer, his hard nosed demeanor, and his skill in solving clubhouse crimes.{{what?|date=March 2019}} Early lifeWhen Karkovice was seven years old, his family moved to Florida after his father, who worked for United Airlines, was transferred.[1] He began playing baseball in Little League at age eight.

For his career, he threw out 41% of base stealers. In 1993, he threw out 54% of them. On August 30, 1990, Karkovice hit an inside-the-park grand slam off of Minnesota Twins pitcher David West at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.[4][5] Coaching careerIn 2001 Karkovice managed the Gulf Coast League Royals. He then coached the First Academy baseball team in Orlando in an assistant capacity, before moving on as head coach for Pine Castle Christian Academy.[6] From 2009–2011, Karkovice served as hitting coach for the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.[7] In 2012, Karkovice was named bench coach for the Camden Riversharks, another Atlantic League team.[8] He was promoted to manager of the club the next year.[9] See also
