Biography

George Lees was a professional baseball player born in 1895, who had a brief career in Major League Baseball. He played as a position player from May 7, 1921, to September 24, 1921, appearing in a total of 20 games. During his time in the league, Lees recorded 9 hits and drove in 4 runs, finishing with a batting average of .214. Although he did not hit any home runs and recorded no stolen bases, his contributions came during an era that was increasingly competitive and marked by the transition into a more offensive-minded game. Lees's career, though short, reflected the challenges faced by many players in the early 1920s, a time when the sport was evolving with the introduction of more powerful hitters and strategic gameplay. While he may not have reached the statistical heights of some of his contemporaries, his presence in the league represented the opportunities available to players during this dynamic period in baseball history.
