#238 Leron Lee.

Landed in a crevasse in baseball history…an obscure MLB outfielder whose inconsistencies limited opportunities….failed to break into the Cardinals outfield with fair to poor numbers…traded mid1971 to San Padres….a capital gain hits .271 for the remainder of the season and .300 for 1972…degraded to .237 in 1973 and future remained in questions….picked up on waivers by Cleveland just before the start of 74 season…results peaked at mediocracy with a spiral downward and limited playing time…hit .212 with and .133 in next two years in very sparse at bats…reached the of MLB work….enter the Nippon League….imported with sibling Leon Lee they started in 1978 was amazing run of 11 seasons….hit for power; averaging 25 home runs, and average; a .320 mark….one of great ganjins (foreign born player in the Japanese baseball) of all time….despite over a decade his career a bit too short for Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame….should have joined the Japanese league earlier.
