Lee's natural position is shortstop, but at Toronto he found himself behind fellow
San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic native Tony Fernandez. In 1988, between
the departure of Damaso Garcia and the ascendance of Nelson Liriano, Lee was the
Blue Jays' primary second baseman, and hit a career-high .291.

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»September 24, 1988: Toronto's Dave Stieb is one out away from a no-hitter when Julio Franco's apparent game-ending grounder takes a bad hop over 2B Manny Lee's head and Stieb is forced to settle for a 1–0 one-hitter. It is the 7th no-hitter broken up in the 9th inning this season.
