Biographical Information

Ed Lewee played in the minor leagues from 1894 to 1910. He was predominantly a middle infielder, playing second base and shortstop. He is first listed with the Atlanta Atlantas of the Southern Association in 1894, and then the Buffalo Bisons of the Eastern League for the next three seasons. He then spent a long stretch in the Western League, before it became the American League, followed by the American Association, with the Kansas City Blues. Starting in 1904, he was in lower-level leagues, mainly the Three-I League and the Wisconsin-Illinois League. Statistics are only available for part of his career, but he was a decent hitter, with batting averages between .270 and .290 for the heart of his career, with limited power but lots of runs scored. He would also end up in double figures in stolen bases most seasons for which numbers are available.

On June 4, 1904, playing for Kansas City, he was involved in two triple plays in the same game, against the Toledo Mud Hens. He combined with Jack Ryan to pull off the first one, and with Suter Sullivan for the second.

He was a minor league manager later in his career. He is sometimes listed as "Harry Levee".
