"To teach me pitching accuracy, my Dad made me throw a baseball through a tire hung from a tree and then at a strike zone painted on an old mattress." - Annabelle Lee
In 1944 she threw a Perfect Game. 1945 threw a No-Hitter.
Annabelle Lee passed on her pitching knowledge to a nephew, gave him his first left-handed glove, and became one of the biggest influences in his life.
He grew up to become a lefty junkballer just like his Aunt Annabelle. Better known as Bill “Spaceman” Lee.
"I like to think I got my competitive nature from her. My Aunt was the best baseball player and the best athlete in the family, including me."
Annabelle Lee, AAGPBL. Annabelle "Lefty" (Lee) Harmon was buried in her AAGPBL uniform.
