1963 Topps #372 Don Lee
About Don Lee
Lee spent all of 1963 with the Angels and split the job nearly down the middle, starting 22 of his 40 games and logging 154 innings. He finished 8-11 with a 3.68 ERA, completed three of those starts and threw two shutouts, half of the four he managed in the big leagues. His 89 strikeouts were the most he recorded in any season spent with a single club. Card #372 comes from the fifth series of the 1963 Topps set and lists him with the Los Angeles Angels.
Donald Edward Lee, a 6-foot-4 right-hander born February 26, 1934, in Globe, Arizona, pitched at the University of Arizona before the Detroit Tigers signed him as an amateur free agent in June 1956. He debuted for Detroit in April 1957, went to the Milwaukee Braves in an October 1959 trade, and landed in Washington that November when the Senators took him in the Rule 5 draft. He moved with that franchise to Minnesota, then pitched for the Los Angeles Angels, Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs, making his last appearance in August 1966. A swingman who shuttled between the rotation and the bullpen, Lee peaked in 1962, when a season divided between the Twins and Angels produced career highs of 11 wins, 102 strikeouts, two shutouts and 205 1/3 innings. Nine seasons left him 40-44 with a 3.61 ERA, 467 strikeouts and 11 saves in 244 games. His father was Thornton Lee, a 22-game winner for the 1941 White Sox, and the two share an oddity: Ted Williams is the only man to homer off both a father and his son, reaching Thornton in September 1939 and Don in September 1960.
