Chet Lemon, a former MLB outfielder known for his impressive career with the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers, passed away at 70 following a long struggle with a blood disorder. Drafted by the Oakland Athletics at 17, Lemon became a key player for the Tigers, contributing to their 1984 World Series victory. Renowned for his abilities on the field and dedication to youth baseball through his foundation, Lemon impacted many lives beyond his athletic accomplishments. Tributes from the baseball community reflect his kindness and passion for the game.
After watching Chester the last several years, I have to say without a doubt, he's the best center fielder I've seen in my 31 years in the game.
While he was a World Series champion and All-Star on the field, perhaps his biggest impact came off of it.
