Isidore Lee Reaches 100 Wins
Sunday, June 13th , 1915
What would you do after you had just won your 100th game? Run around Doves Field doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Isidore Lee -- that's not his way.
After he notched number 100, the 28-year-old Cincinnati hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Lee commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help."
Lee got his milestone victory by beating the Saint Louis Reds 4-3. He held them to no hits in 1 innings and rung up no strikeouts with no walks.
After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #100. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Lee's face broke into a big smile.
A look at Lee's career stats shows he has 1 save with a 100-136 record and a 2.91 ERA.
