1964 Topps #411 Lee Walls
About Lee Walls
Walls' last major league season was a 37-game cameo for a Dodgers club that fell to 80-82 and a tie for sixth place, a year after the title. He batted .179 with five hits in 28 at bats, played the outfield corners, and took a turn behind the plate for the only catching appearance of his career; his last big-league game came on October 4. Los Angeles released him in mid-October, and he spent 1965 in Japan's Pacific League with the Hankyu Braves, batting .302 with 14 home runs. Card #411 is a fifth-series Dodgers card.
Ray Lee Walls Jr., born January 6, 1933 in San Diego and raised in Pasadena, played ten National League seasons (1952, 1956-1964) as an outfielder and utility man for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers. A right-handed hitter and thrower listed at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, he wore eyeglasses on the field, a rarity in his era, and was nicknamed "Captain Midnight" because of them. His best year came in 1958 with the Cubs: .304 with 24 home runs, 72 RBIs and a spot on the National League All-Star team, a season after he hit for the cycle at Wrigley Field. Left unprotected in the October 1961 expansion draft, he was taken by the new Mets and flipped to Los Angeles that December, and he spent three seasons there as a reserve and one of the best pinch hitters of the day. He finished at .262 with 670 hits, 66 home runs and 284 RBIs in 902 games, played 1965 in Japan for the Hankyu Braves, later coached for the Oakland Athletics and followed Billy Martin to the Yankees, and worked as an agent for athletes including Don Drysdale. He died October 11, 1993 in Los Angeles.
