Bill Lee

William Francis Lee III

Bill "The Spaceman" Lee, the left handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox and Montreal Expos, was one of the most colorful players in major league baseball history. With the Red Sox from 1969 through 1978, and with the Montreal Expos from 1979 until he retired in 1982, Lee won 16 or more games four times, including three straight 17 win seasons from 1973 to 1975. He was part of the Red Sox team that played what many believe is the best World Series ever, against the Cincinnatti Reds in 1975.
