1977 Topps #272 Lee Lacy
About Lee Lacy
Used mostly off the bench in 1977, Lacy hit .266 in 169 at-bats. In the World Series opener at Yankee Stadium he pinch-hit a single off Sparky Lyle that scored Dusty Baker and tied the game 3-3 in the ninth, before New York won in 12 innings. He started in right field in Games Four and Five, going 2-for-3 in the latter. Card #272 shows him with the Dodgers.
Lee Lacy was a right-handed hitter who played 16 seasons, 1972 to 1987, for the Dodgers, Braves, Pirates and Orioles, batting .286 with 91 home runs and 185 steals in 1,523 games. He grew up in Oakland, starred at McClymonds High School, and was a second-round pick of the Dodgers in January 1969. He reached Los Angeles as a second baseman, then spent most of his Dodgers years as a utility man behind the Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey infield. He set a major league record with three consecutive pinch-hit home runs in 1978 and appeared in four World Series: 1974, 1977 and 1978 with the Dodgers and 1979 with Pittsburgh. His best seasons came with the Pirates, where he hit .335 in 1980 and .321 with 152 hits in 1984. He was caught up in the Pittsburgh drug trials and received a 60-day suspension in 1986. That June, with Baltimore, he hit three home runs and drove in six in an 18-9 win over the Yankees. His daughter Jennifer Lacy played in the WNBA.
