Joseph Albert Armand "Skippy" Roberge (May 19, 1917 – June 7, 1993) was an American professional baseball player, an infielder whose professional career lasted for ten seasons between 1939 and 1952 (with 1943–1945 missed due to military service during World War II) and included 177 games played in Major League Baseball for the Boston Braves (1941–1942; 1946).

[1] Roberge served with the U.S. Army Company C, 52d Infantry Regiment (Anti-Tank), 4th Signal Battalion with the rank of Technician Fifth Grade.

But in late 1944, as the Allied Forces advanced, Roberge was sent to the front lines, where he was wounded in the Roer River crossing at Linnich, Germany, on February 14, 1945, which earned him the Purple Heart.

[3] Even though his war wound hindered his return to the majors, Roberge continued to play baseball in the minor leagues.

He then worked the next 22 years back in his hometown at the General Electric Company, while coaching local youth leagues.
