Chet Lemon, a three-time American League All-Star outfielder, has died. He was 70.

Lemon hit 215 home runs, drove in 884, and batted .273 in his career.
In recent years, Lemon had been battling strokes and aphasia, and was confined to a wheelchair. Still, just last year, he celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Tigers’ 1984 championship with teammates on the field at Comerica Park.
