This is interesting (with the caveat that WAR is not an exact stat, and Lee being .1 WAR better than DiMaggio is not hard proof that his season was better or more valuable), and I went over to good ol' Wikipedia to look at Lee's page. And a fun (if true) connection to Williams was revealed:
"On September 17, 1939, Ted Williams hit a home run off Thornton Lee, one of 31 homers he hit in his rookie season. Williams homered off Thornton's son, Don Lee, of the Senators, on September 2, 1960, thus becoming the only player in major league history to hit a home run off a father and son." No citation for that, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Anybody know if this has happened since (or remains the only instance)? |
