Because I’m reading Big Hair and Plastic Grass (still working on it… it’s been a busy vacation), I thought I’d feature 1981 Bill Lee this week as the Monster Card. The colorful character that he is, Lee is featured quite a bit in that book.
With a 2.94 ERA in 31 games and 7 starts, Lee pitched well in 1981. That said, he also had a lucky year at the plate going 8 for 22 with a homer.
| Split | G | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | SB | BB | SO | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1981 Totals | 31 | 22 | 22 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 4 | .364 | .364 | .500 |
Here are Lee’s pitching stats:
| Split | W | L | G | GS | GF | CG | SHO | SV | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1981 Totals | 5 | 6 | .455 | 2.94 | 31 | 7 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 88.2 | 90 | 33 | 29 | 6 | 14 | 34 |
Lee’s ‘81 card is pretty tasty for a split grade pitcher. aside from being a C(B*)Z lefty, he gets a nice hitting card, too. ‘Spaceman’ got two 1s for his efforts with hit numbers 1-1-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-9-9.
Appropriately, he received no 14s. He also has no 24s with a 41-27.
