Boston Dirt Dogs
The Spaceman won 17 games for three consecutive seasons in Boston (1973-'75). The free-spirited Lee started two games in the 1975 World Series against the Big Red Machine, giving up just one run over eight innings in Game 2, and shutting out the Reds for five for five innings in Game 7 before Tony Perez hit a Lee Eephus pitch over the Wall... you know the rest. In a famous Sox-Yankees brawl in '76, Lee separated his left shoulder during the fracas. ( Lee's stats )
