lemon fresh

Marcus Lemon, a speedy young infielder, was invited to the Texas Rangers’ big league camp on Wednesday. Wasn’t there another speedy guy named Lemon in baseball a few years back? Yes, Chet Lemon, the Jackson native who played center field for the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers in the ’70s and ’80s. Chet, now an amateur baseball coach in Florida, is indeed Marcus’ dad. Marcus, a fourth-round pick by Texas in 2006, is trying to follow in dad’s footsteps. It won’t be easy; dad, a three-time All-Star, set a pretty good pace.
