Phillies Nation to honor Cliff Lee in June

In June of 2011, Cliff Lee turned in arguably the greatest month that a Philadelphia Phillie has ever had, going 5-0 with a 0.21 ERA and three complete-game shutouts.

Nine summers later, Phillies Nation will use the month of June to honor the former All-Star pitcher.

Throughout the month of June, Phillies Nation will revisit some of the finest moments of Lee’s two stints in Philadelphia, and speak to former teammates about what it was like to have a front-row view to his dominant peak.

The series will kick off Monday evening with Phillies Nation Assistant Editorial Director Jonny Heller revealing the 33 numbers that defined one of the greatest peaks that a starting pitching has had over the last 25 years.
