Notes
While pitching for San Diego of the Pacific Coast League in 1956, Lombardi nearly hurled a perfect game. On July 22, facing Portland in the second game of a twinbill, Lombardi had two outs in the seventh inning before he surrendered the first hit of the game, a single off the bat of Luis Marquez. The hit extended Marquez's hitting streak to 16 games.
