Lee Howard has passed away at age 94, but his April 24, 2018 death was not reported to Wikipedia until just now, 13 months later. Howard was 0-1, with a 2.25 earned run average in 5 major league games that took place during September call-ups in 1946 & 1947. His only big leagues decision occurred on September 29, 1946 in the first game of a doubleheader, when Howard pitched a Complete Game ,but took a tough 1-0 loss. He was outdueled by Cincinnati's Johnny Vander Meer who threw a Shut Out, while the Reds were able to coax a run across the plate in the seventh inning on a Bob Usher RBI single, for the game's only tally.
Does anyone have photos of Lee Howard to share with this forum?
