Raymond Richard Lamb (born December 28, 1944) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball for two teams, and a highly regarded commercial sculptor of fantasy miniature figurines.
He joined the Dodgers on August 1, 1969, and was given jersey number 42, the number he had worn in college, but also the number that Jackie Robinson had worn as a Brooklyn Dodger. No other Dodger in either Brooklyn or Los Angeles had worn that number since Robinson had retired in 1957. Lamb wore the jersey for the rest of the season. The jersey with number 42 was taken from him at the end of the season — the Dodgers were planning to retire Jackie Robinson's number — and at the start of the 1970 season, he was given number 34.
Los Angeles Dodgers (1969–1970)
Cleveland Indians (1971–1973)
Sent him 2 cards on 8 Apr and got them back signed on 26 Jun.
