This is a great positive article. Get better Juice. Loved his ugly glove. there was a 1986 WDIV Promo where he goes back to make the catch stops talks to the fans ‘I bet you think this ball is out a here, nope” then goes up and steals a HR. “That’s what they pay me for.”
I loved watching Chet play. One writer called him “Chester Lee Baseball.” He was key piece in the 1984 World Series Championship team. I had wondered why he disappeared.

I would also recommend the [Chet Lemon episode](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1988-topps/id1513855373?i=1000682055138) of my favorite baseball podcast, 1988 Topps. They do deep dives into the careers of one card/player per ep, and I felt like they truly did Chet justice. I bawled like a baby.
I can hear George Kell calling him Chester Lemon right now!
My favorite player growing up
