1978 Topps Baseball #295 - Bill Lee

• Bill Lee had a tumultuous 1978 season. Lee started the season 10-3, but from  mid-July to mid-August he lost seven straight decisions. Bill clashed with manager Don Zimmer and was a founding member of the (in)famous Buffalo Heads club. Lee was pulled from the starting rotation in late August and appeared only a few times in relief during the remainder of the season. Lee was traded to the Montreal Expos after the season.
