[Expos 1969-2004]

From convict to MLB player to losing his leg...

LeFlore played for the Tigers, Expos and White Sox (1974-82)

First arrested at fifteen, he was ultimately sentenced to 5–15 years in a state prison for armed robbery.

Incarcerated, the first organized baseball league LeFlore played in was for inmates. Jimmy Karalla, a fellow inmate, convinced Billy Martin, then manager of the Detroit Tigers, to observe LeFlore. Martin helped LeFlore get permission for day-parole and a try out at Tiger Stadium. In July 1973 the Tigers signed him to a contract which enabled LeFlore to meet the conditions for parole.

After the 1979 season, in which he hit .300 and stole 78 bases, LeFlore was traded in December to the Expos for pitcher Dan Schatzeder.

His 97 stolen bases for the Expos in 1980 are still a franchise record for the Expos and Washington Nationals.

In 1981 he signed with the White Sox as a free agent.

LeFlore lost his right leg to arterial vascular disease in the summer of 2011, a result of his having smoked cigarettes since he was a teenager.
