That's right. Cliff Lee, a local boy, won the American League Cy Young Award today.
Yes, we're proud of Lee here in Benton, Ark. He played for the Benton Panthers (we've got a great baseball program here) and the Arkansas Razorbacks. He pitches for the Cleveland Indians now and is coming off a 22-3 season and a 2.54 ERA last season, and that was coming back to Major League Baseball after a season in the minor leagues.
Lee still calls Benton home, thus proving yet again that he's a quality individual.
If you want to read an excellent story about Lee, click right here and read this one that ran last week in the Saline County Voice.
As always, click right here to see some more of ill-conceived rambling.
