Featuring Manny Lee with the Toronto Blue Jays, this Manny Lee autographed 1988 Score #561 Toronto Blue Jays card comes from Score's inaugural baseball card set and showcases the versatile infielder during his early years in Toronto. Lee spent his first eight Major League seasons with the Blue Jays and eventually became the club's regular shortstop.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Lee made his Major League debut with Toronto on June 15, 1985. He appeared in 64 games during his rookie season as the Blue Jays won 99 games and captured the first American League East championship in franchise history.
Lee's versatility allowed him to contribute at both second base and shortstop during his early seasons. By the late 1980s he had developed into an everyday player, appearing in 146 games in 1988 and a career-high 158 games in 1989 as Toronto captured another AL East title.
Lee moved to shortstop full-time and remained an important part of Toronto's infield through 1992. That season he appeared in 138 games and helped the Blue Jays win the American League pennant before defeating the Atlanta Braves in six games to capture the first World Series championship in franchise history.
Lee played 11 Major League seasons with the Blue Jays, Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals. The 1988 Score #561 is an appealing addition for Blue Jays collectors, Manny Lee fans, 1992 World Series championship collections, inaugural Score set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
