Lee first Arkansan in 61 years to start Game 1 of World Series

Posted by admin | Arkansas Natives | Friday 6 November 2009 6:45 pm

Cliff Lee started the first game of the 2009 World Series on Wednesday for the Philadelphia Phillies, and in doing so became the first Arkansan in 61 years, as well as the 4th in history, to make a Game 1 start.

Lee, a native of Benton, AR, joins Lon Warneke, johnny Sain and Hall of Famer Dizzy Dean as the only Arkansas-born players to start Game 1 of a World Series. Schoolboy Rowe, though born in Waco Texas, grew up in El Dorado, AR and started the 1935 World Series against Warneke.

Lee pitched excellently in his start, holding the New York Yankees to only 1 unearned run over 9 innings. In addition, he struck out 10 and walked none. Amazingly, all 4 Arkansas-born players to make a Game 1 start have pitched a complete game, going 4-0 with only 3 runs between them, good for an 0.75 ERA.
