I've never seen Bill Lee listed with Ruth and Shoeless Joe! Awesome!
I've literally met Bill Lee about 4 or 5 times in Vermont, sometimes by accident. He has a farm in Vermont and his nickname "Spaceman" is so appropriate!
I faced him in an over 35 baseball league (struck out). I was maybe 40, he was most likely in his 60's. He faced 9 batters on our team and struck out all 9! ugh!
Another time I faced him in a wiffle ball game for charity (Travis Roy Foundation event). I pitched the whole game against him and he even hit a HR off me. He was barking at me all around the bases.
Bill Lee is a true character and is quite fascinating!
Peace, Mike
