#70T - Lee Lacy


What a card: Lee Lacy took advantage of arguably the best season of his major league career in 1984 by signing a free agent contract with the Orioles on Dec. 7, 1984.

How'd that go: Lacy maintained his late-career success with Baltimore in 1985 and 1986 before running out of gas in his final season in 1987.


Backatya: Other McClymonds High School graduates include 1930s catching great Ernie Lombardi, NBA legend Bill Russell and MC Hammer.


Back-to-back: Lee Lacy is demonstrating the 1979 World Series on his flagship and Traded cards.

Lacy's flagship card was originally blogged on June 12, 2017. It's card No. 669. I prefer it to the Traded card. Must be the nostalgia for the Pirates uniforms.

The blog wants to speak now: The Pop Culture tab is updated.

I was so pumped when he came to the O's. Also, a little controversial to print their child's birth date when you realize he must have been in high school when it happened...?
