Lee Meyers was a Cub minor leaguer pitcher who never tasted the show, but he certainly tasted show business.

On May 4, 1966, Meyers, then with the Cubs Class A affiliate Lodi Crushers (The California League), married actress and sex symbol Mamie Van Doren. Mamie had recently broken up with Angels pitcher (and playboy) Bo Belinsky when she found herself attached to this very young man.

The marriage lasted longer than Meyer's baseball career. The lefty never made it higher than Triple-A Tacoma for the Cubs, who released him in 1967. He and Van Doren were divorced on January 3rd, 1969.

Meyers seemed to be recovering nicely from the divorce after inheriting a large sum of money from his grandfather, the publisher of McCall's magazine. Sadly, his new found wealth didn't last long. On April 27, 1972, Meyers died in a car accident in Huntington Beach, California.

Van Doren married 5 times and dated a Who's Who of Hollywood big-wigs, including Clark Gable, Howard Hughes, Johnny Carson, Elvis Presley, Burt Reynolds, Jack Dempsey, Steve McQueen, Johnny Rivers, Robert Evans, Eddie Fisher, Warren Beatty, Tony Curtis, and Joe Namath.

While she dated a lot of A-list stars, her own film career never made it out of the minor leagues...just like her third husband, Lee Meyers.
