All-Star Center field actor Chet Lemon, who won a world series with 1984 Detroit Tigers, died on Thursday at his home in Florida. He was 70 years old.
“He was sleeping on his lying couch,” he said to Detroit Free Press. “He wasn’t sensitive.”
Lemon had fought against a rare blood disease for the last thirty years, and had a series of strokes, which could not walk or speak.
Between 1975-81, Lemon played seven seven times with Chicago White SOX and tigers between 1982-90 nine times. In 1,988 games, 215 Homer fought with 884 RBI, 973 running and 1.875 strokes .273.
In the 1977 season, Lemon broke a record of an American league that is still ongoing for outdoor players with 512 Putout.
In 1979, he led the American League with 44 couples, and in 1978, 1979 and 1984 he made All-Star teams.
Lemon played a run against San Diego Padres, a RBI and two stolen bases, as Detroit won the 1984 World series in five matches.
“Detroit Tigers joins all baseballs by mourning the transition of Chet Lemon.” He said. “While a world series champion and All-Star on the field, perhaps the biggest influence came out. This involves creating the Chet Lemon Foundation and devoting most of his career to the development of youth baseball after playing.
“Our thoughts are with CET’s family, friends and everyone who coaches, mentor and inspired.”
Lemon returned to Motor City in September 2024 because the tigers celebrated the 40th anniversary of this title. His wife was limited to a wheelchair, but he said he had come together emotionally with his teammates.
“You know how much we’re,” he said for the old Tigers short -term Trammell according to Detroit Free Press. “We couldn’t win without you. You know that.”
Lemon was born in Jackson, Miss, but he moved to Los Angeles when he was a family baby. Oakland Athletics chose the number 22 elections from La’s Fremont High School in 1972.
