"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 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." - Bill “Spaceman” Lee
