About Lee May
Lee May has three 1977 Topps cards, all tied to his 1976 Orioles season of 25 home runs and a league-leading 109 RBI. Card #3 is the RBI league leaders card, shared with George Foster. Card #380 is his own Orioles issue. Card #633 is the Big League Brothers card, pairing him with Carlos May, who is printed with the New York Yankees.
Lee May was a right-handed first baseman and designated hitter for the Reds, Astros, Orioles and Royals. He hit 354 home runs and drove in 1,244 runs across 18 major-league seasons, batting .267. From 1968 through 1978, he reached both 20 homers and 80 RBI every year. Teammate Tommy Helms gave him the nickname "the Big Bopper from Birmingham," later shortened to "the Big Bopper." May signed with Cincinnati for $12,000 after playing three sports at Parker High School. Tampa manager Johnny Vander Meer converted him from the outfield to first base. After retiring as a player, May became Kansas City's hitting coach and was on the staff of its 1985 World Series championship team.
