Players Who Obviously Never Took Steroids: Mark Lemke

With Barry Bonds quickly approaching Hank Aaron's all-time Home Run record, JCMJ wants to take a look at some of the players with careers that are not tainted by the possibility of steroid use. These players, through their anemic homerun totals are "Players That Obviously Never Took Steroids"

Player Who Obviously Never Took Steroids - Mark Lemke




Career Home Runs - 32

Career Stats

Years in MLB:
11 seasons

Commentary:
Just the name "Mark Lemke" sounds like "I can't hit a freaking home run if I tried". To his credit, Mark was a key member of the those great early 90s Braves teams. But Mark was not known for his power to say the least, as Mark topped out with a career high 7 home run season in 1993. I guess that is fitting that Mark's Braves teams are the ones that kept Barry Bonds from the World Series when he was a Pirate.

See Ripken brothers. Also, compare the Bonds celebration to that of Ripken's when he broke Lou Gehrig's 2130 game streak.

Lemke will always be remembered by me as the guy who popped up to Charlie Hayes to end the 1996 World Series...yes, I can still remember when the Yankees were contenders.

I'd like to nominate the Minnesota Twins' Jason Tyner for this honor. The dude has spent good chunks of the last six seasons in the bigs looking for his first home run. He also has the honor of being the only player whose official position was listed as pinch runner by MLB's website.
