He signed with the San Francisco Giants in 1958 and was recalled from the minor leagues during the 1961 season, appearing in 27 games for the Giants that season, starting five.

All told he won three games, lost eight and had a career ERA of 4.17 in 45 Major League games.^[1]

He then had a successful career as a starting pitcher at the Triple-A level of the minors through 1970, reaching the double digits in wins for six consecutive seasons, including 17- and 16-victory seasons in 1965 and 1968. All told, he won 139 games and lost 124 as a minor league pitcher.^[2] LeMay also managed at the Class A level in the Cubs' farm system in 1971–1972 and was a scout for the Montréal Expos during the 1980s.
