The Immortal Cliff Lee

The Phillies had Cliff Lee as early back as 1921. Clearly, this is proof that Cliff Lee is immortal, and these were merely his "early years" - back before he switched to his left hand and started pitching.

Lee: You were the ace here, Mr. Halladay.
Halladay: No, sir, you are the ace. You have always been the ace. I ought to know. I’ve always been here.

Weirdly, I pictured Highlander with Lee and Halladay facing off. “there can only be one.”

Any Delbert Grady reference is worth a “rec” to me.

By the way, I initially read the title as the “Immoral” Cliff Lee.

What he does to opposing batters is probably considered immoral.

This may disturb you, but accept it in the spirit in which is is offered…

“Ditto.”

He had himself a pretty nice season in ’22.

Pretty funny that his best seasons were with the Phillies. No wonder Cliff Lee wanted to come back.

Uhh...

I hope this doesn’t mean he’s a liver-eating yellow-eyed mutant like Eugene Tooms.

He had some pretty solid years for the Phils.

Looking forward to at least five more.

How awesome would it be if Cliff Lee could come out of the game and then replace Ryan Howard, Raul Ibanez or Carlos Ruiz? We’re just one time-travel machine away from making that dream a reality.
