Born in [[Épernon]], Sainte-Chloé, as the youngest of four children, Leclerq loved the sport of baseball from a young age and played it from a young age. After graduating from the [[University of Sainte-Chloé]] as the star of their baseball team, he was drafted by the [[Épernon Freres]] of the ABL. After a very successful rookie year, winning the ABL's rookie of the year award, he was given a contract by the RBL's [[Portmouth Reds]] in 1989.

During his offseasons as well as during his retirement, he has been heavily involved in with Rizealander and Chloéois charitable organisations. Although generally well regarded by players and coaches as a friendly and sportsmanlike player, allegations of cheating and substance abuse have been made against him, although he was acquitted in court. After his retirement, he also became involved with Chloéois politics, supporting PCT initiatives and programs. He was nominated as the PCT's Presidential candidate in 2019 to replace the outgoing President [[Jaques Durand]], and won the 2020 Presidential elections.
During the offseason as well as during his retirement, he has been heavily involved in with Rizealander and Chloéois charitable organisations, particularly with a focus on aiding the poor in the Aurcian and [[Asteria Inferior]]. Although generally well regarded by players and coaches as a friendly and sportsmanlike player, some accusing him of engaging in acts of {{wp|Cheating in baseball|cheating}}, which were eventually proven false. After his retirement, in 2017 he was appointed to the [[Arucian Baseball League#Executive|Arucian Baseball Commission]] by the Arucian Player's Union, although he stepped down in early 2020 when he assumed the office of President. Due to his involvement with the Union, which has heavy connexions to the Catholic Labour Party, Leclerq became involved with Chloéois politics and was supported. He was nominated as the PCT's Presidential candidate in 2019 to replace the outgoing President [[Jaques Durand]], and won the 2020 Presidential elections.

Jean-Marie Leclercq (born December 26, 1967) is a Chloéois former professional baseball player, charity worker, and the 8th and current President of Sainte-Chloé for the Catholic Labour Party. He is regarded by some sports commentators as one of the best baseball players of all times, and ended his 21 RBL year career with one of the highest on-base percentages and WAR ratings, and still holds the greatest number of walks in the Rizealand Baseball League. He also played in the Arucian Baseball League prior to and after his time in the RBL.

Born in Épernon, Sainte-Chloé, as the youngest of four children, Leclerq loved the sport of baseball and played it from a young age. After graduating from the University of Sainte-Chloé as the star of their baseball team, he was drafted by the Épernon Freres of the ABL. After a very successful rookie year, winning the ABL's rookie of the year award, he was given a contract by the RBL's Portmouth Reds in 1989. During his time in the RBL, he would win an wide variety of awards while playing for the Reds and then later the Liberty City Blues. After retiring from the RBL in 2010, he returned to play in the ABL for four and a half more seasons, contributing to the Freres winning 2 Arucian Series, before finally retiring from playing baseball at the end of the 2015 season in 2016, at the age of 49. For his accomplishments in both leagues, he was elected to the Hall of Fame for both leagues, despite controversy over his lack of career length in the ABL not being enough to warrant his inclusion.

During the offseason as well as during his retirement, he has been heavily involved in with Rizealander and Chloéois charitable organisations, particularly with a focus on aiding the poor in the Aurcian and Asteria Inferior. Although generally well regarded by players and coaches as a friendly and sportsmanlike player, some accusing him of engaging in acts of cheating, which were eventually proven false. After his retirement, in 2017 he was appointed to the Arucian Baseball Commission by the Arucian Player's Union, although he stepped down in early 2020 when he assumed the office of President. Due to his involvement with the Union, which has heavy connexions to the Catholic Labour Party, Leclerq became involved with Chloéois politics and was supported. He was nominated as the PCT's Presidential candidate in 2019 to replace the outgoing President Jaques Durand, and won the 2020 Presidential elections.
