If there is one player that epitomizes the word “Weird”, that would be 70s pitcher Bill Lee. Those familiar with Bill Lee know he was known for his wild shenanigans and off-the-wall quotes. Reader Tom Zuppa agrees as he sent in this appropriate 1972 card of Lee’s.
In 1972 the last year pitchers could hit in the American League, Lee hit one triple, one homer and one single in 16 at-bats for the Red Sox.
| Split | G | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | BB | SO | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1972 Totals | 47 | 16 | 16 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 7 | .188 | .188 | .500 |
Lee’s card is a treasure. He received two 1s and two 2s to go along with his 8-8-9-9 hit numbers.
Tom Z noted that APBA hadn’t given Lee his famous nickname “Spaceman” yet.
thanks Tom!
man, you gotta love single column 2s!!
ps…i wonder what the record is for consecutive 13s lol.
