Lemon was a power-hitting corner outfielder in the final days of the original Washington Senators. He hit 33 homers in 1959, and 38 the next season, which was the last year those Senators played in D.C. before moving to Minnesota. He was a free swinger: Lemon led the American League in strikeouts in three straight seasons.
