I would LOVE to buy Bill Lee beer and tell baseball stories until we passed out. This has now made my bucket list.

Only Remember Him with Expos
It would have been fun for me to have seen him in his prime with the Red Sox.

I’m only familiar with him from the Ken Burns’ Baseball documentary. He was one of the most entertaining commentators, IMHO.
"Fasten those seatbelts!"-Pat Hughes

I just saw a bio on him about a month ago. One of the things he said was whenever he’s been asked to throw out the first pitch he’d say only if he can pitch the game, and that’s one of the reasons he’s still pitching.
