Charlie Lea...RIP.
Former major league pitcher Charlie Lea, a star at Kingsbury High and then-Memphis State University before embarking on a successful pro career, was found dead in his Collierville home Friday. He was 54.
Collierville Police Chief Larry Goodwin said Lea died of a suspected heart attack.
Winner of 62 games in an eight-year major league career that ended with the Minnesota Twins in 1988, Lea pitched a no-hitter for the Montreal Expos against the San Francisco Giants in 1981, and was the starting and winning pitcher for the National League in the 1984 All-Star Game.

1. The Most Interesting Man In The World Posted: November 12, 2011 at 05:06 AM (#3991666)On Sept. 26, 1983, Bob Forsch of Cards threw a no-hitter against the Expos.
On Sept. 27, 1983, Charlie Lea of the Expos defeated the Cardinals, 10-4.
Rough week for winning pitchers in that series. LOOK OUT BRYN SMITH.
RIP, Mr. Lea...
That same son was a lawyer at my firm, and worked in the office next to me until leaving a few months ago to clerk for Clarence Thomas. There's some talent in that family.
RIP.
