Keith Lee Day

New York Cobra announced that Keith Lee would be playing his final game for the team.  Lee is struggling and despite being under contract through 2018, the team had to make a move.  

Before the game against the Denver Rabbits, Lee was honored by team executive Brad Boomer, former managers Eddie Bird and Juan Alou, commissioner Manfred Mueller, former teammates Roger Chillingworth, Joe Thomas, Pudge Fernandez, Bob Zygyk, Stuart Coppolla, as well as current veteran teammates Chad White, Rudiger Rocker, and Pedro Lewis.

Lee has played 12 seasons in New York, won 2 championships with the team, and has 3210 hits and 415 homers.

Lee popped up to second base in the second, singled in the fourth, and struck out in the 7th.  Lee played the full game, and caught a flyout by Pete Stallone to end the 8th.  Buddy Dervish pitched a 3 hitter over 8 innings, and Jon Papelbrad pitched a scoreless 9th as New York won the game 1-0.

Lee has not announced his retirement, and will be eligible to sign with any team.
