Re Lee:

From May 17 05 posting at TWB site:
---------------------------------------------
Geeze, look at this about Campanella:

"During the 1950s, Campanella would injure his left hand and that injury would continue to worsen as the decade moved on. As the injury worsened, so did Campy's performance. Unfortunately, the hand injury would be placed into perspective by 1958. In January of that year, Campy was paralyzed in a horrific car crash and his career came to an abrupt end."

Lee suffered hand injury in 1953 and his performance suffered. I worry about Lee when 1958 arrives.

And from earlier from same thread:

-----------

Hershel Lee
1948-1952 seasons: Hershel Lee establishes himself as perhaps the best catcher in TWB history. Five seasons with BA between .288 and .299 and hits between 28 and 36 HRs per season. He also drives in between 101 and 119 RBI each year. Clearly dominant player. Has rough season in 1953 but then...

September 1953: "Injured on 9/9/1953 with a Fractured Hand, out for 8-9 weeks..."

He never fully recovers and his BA falls to as low as .234 the following year. He is now platooning with Poulos at catcher at the age of 33. His HOF career effectively stopped in its tracks by injury.

Campy vs. Lee: Campy first two data columns while Lee is second two: BA and HRs
