"Only four other Cubs have ever hit more than 42 (Billy Williams’ mark in 1970, and the team record for a lefthanded hitter, and that one’s probably not going to be broken either): Derrek Lee (46 in 2005), Andre Dawson (49 in 1987), Dave Kingman (48 in 1979), and Ernie Banks, who did it four times: 44 in 1955, 43 in 1957, 47 in 1958 and 45 in 1959." - 2017
"Derrek Lee and Alex Gonzalez, teammates on the Marlins' 2003 World Series champions, were among dignitaries attending an All-Star Legacy ceremony at Marlins Park as Major League Baseball and the Marlins dedicated a newly purchased, All-Star branded Mobile Eye Unit for Miami's Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired." - 2016
