Rest In Peace Carlos Lezcano

I've mentioned many times on here that I was a big Milwaukee Brewers' fan in the 1970s and 1980s. While everyone knows about Robin Yount & Paul Molitor, not as many people remember Sixto Lezcano. This has little bearing on Carlos Lezcano, who passed away in 2025, but bear with me. I'll connect the dots.

I was 11 when Carlos Lezcano made his major league debut. It was the coolest thing that another player had the same name as Sixto, who I would later find out was his cousin. It's little things like this made baseball what it was for me when I was in my younger years.

Carlos didn't play as long as his cousin. He only played in 49 games over two seasons with the Cubs. His lifetime batting average of .186 is forgettable but the last name Lezcano is certainly not. And for that reason, he will always be a Baseball Card Memory. Rest in Peace, Carlos!
