Ronald Edwin Gant (born March 2, 1965) is an American television news anchor and former professional baseball outfielder.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 1987 and 2003 for eight different teams, primarily the Atlanta Braves (1987–1993), St. Louis Cardinals (1996–1998), and Philadelphia Phillies (1999–2000).

Gant returned to form and the starting lineup in 1990, when he batted .303 with 32 home runs and 84 RBI while being named the National League Comeback Player of the Year by The Sporting News.

He duplicated that feat in 1991, joining Willie Mays (1956–1957) and Bobby Bonds (1977–1978) as the only players in Major League history to that point to have two 30 home run/30 stolen base seasons in a row.

During Game 2 of the 1991 World Series, Gant had a memorable and controversial confrontation with Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek.

Drew Coble, the first base umpire, ruled that Gant's momentum had carried him off the bag, and refused to change his call.

New York Times writer Claire Smith wrote, "Hrbek seemed to lift Gant's leg right off the bag as the Braves' center fielder fought to keep his balance."

In 1992, Gant made his last World Series appearance, where he got one double in eight at-bats, and the Braves lost again, this time in six games to the Toronto Blue Jays.

On September 15, 1993, during a nationally televised game on ESPN against the Cincinnati Reds, Gant hit a game-winning walk-off home run off Rob Dibble to give the Braves a come from behind victory.

Shortly after signing one of the richest contracts in Braves history in 1994, Gant broke his right leg in an ATV accident.

He set the lowest RBI total ever by a player with 25 or more homers (tied in 2015 by Joc Pederson, who also hit 26 home runs with 54 RBIs).
