 lira --  Encyclopædia Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The lira was introduced in Europe by Charlemagne, who based it on the pound (libra) of silver.
No lira coins were struck during the Middle Ages, and the lira remained strictly a money of account.
Despite its early beginning, the first lira was not minted until the 16th century when several Italian states began using the coin.

 Murray hits No. 500 - OrlandoSentinel.com:
Murray turned Camden Yards into a carnival when he hit a first-pitch split-fingered fastball into the right-field bleachers off Detroit Tigers pitcher Felipe Lira in the seventh inning to end the suspense that had been building since he hit his 499th homer at the Kingdome in Seattle last Friday.
He may not be the same hitter who terrorized pitchers in his first incarnation as an Oriole, but he had enough left this year to hit at least 20 homers for the 16th time in 20 years.
Lira, who lost a chance at his first victory in two months when the ball left the park, wasn't thrilled to become the 500th notch on Murray's belt.

 A Concise Encyclopedia of the European Union --E--
In 1995, however, the European Council agreed to abandon the name in favour of the euro, in deference to German concern that the ECU would not be credible, given its track record of repeated devaluation occasioned by the weakness of several of its components, notably the lira, the peseta, the escudo and the drachma.
In September 1992 these strains culminated in violent currency speculation, resulting in the departure of the pound and the lira from the ERM and the devaluation of the peseta.
Nationalist or communist parties exploited antipathy to EMU to gain ground in Austria, France, Italy and Germany, the communists entering the ruling coalitions in France and Italy, where they were obliged to come to terms with belt-tightening measures that offended leftist orthodoxies.

He looked like he was on the verge of a breakthrough after the '96 season, but struggled early in Detroit and eventually was traded to Seattle, where ever-patient Lou Piniella drove him further down.
Unfortunately, I doubt Lira will get first crack at the #5 job in '98, as Paul Spoljaric is getting increasing mention as the likely 5th starter.

Because of happy scheduling, the Expos won't need to use a fifth starter again until the weekend of May 12, which means they can sort through who they want to have around as their mop-up man for nearly ten days.
Considering Alou has a roster with three utility infielders and no worthwhile fourth outfielder, he ought to be able to make space to keep Tracy.
