Jim Lewis Seattle Mariners 1985
Well, well. Just a couple of weeks ago I posted images of Jim Lewis with the Yankees. Today I was on youtube looking for a couple of California Angels when I stumbled across film of Lewis' last major league appearance, the second game of a Seattle-California doubleheader on August 12th, 1985, in Seattle. Lewis got the start and lost it; as I said previously, nature did not intend for him to be a starting pitcher. Announcer David Niehaus had some interesting things to say about Lewis: he didn't have a great fastball, he had a good move to first, and he was a nice guy who got along with everybody. Alas, sometimes the nice guys finish last. Here are two shots of Jim from the film.
