The back: Those five pinch-homers included a record three in a row in May.
The player: In his twenties, Lacy was primarily a utility player, pinch hitter and backup second baseman for the Dodgers. In his thirties, Lacy was primarily a semi-regular and regular outfielder for the Pirates and Orioles. Overall, in 1,523 games over 16 seasons, Lacy hit .286 with 91 HR and 458 RBI.
The man: Lacy was one of many players implicated in the Pittsburgh cocaine trials in the 1980s. Since that time he has apparently lived as a model citizen. He owns Asberry Services, an aviation parts procurement business in California, and has been active in public relations for the Dodgers for over 30 years.
My collection: I have 41 of his cards, from 1973 to 1988. I would be interested in trading for 1982 Fleer Stamps #80.
If only my dupes were sorted and organized, lol
ReplyDeleteDefinitely remember Lacy when he was with the Pirates and Orioles. Guess I was a little too young to remember his Dodger years.
