[1] McLemore grew up in Southeast San Diego, where he went to Samuel F. B. Morse High School with Sam Horn.

"[2] McLemore played for the California Angels 1986–1990, Cleveland Indians 1990, Houston Astros 1991, Baltimore Orioles 1992–1994, Texas Rangers 1995–1999, Seattle Mariners 2000–2003, and Oakland Athletics 2004.

[3] With McLemore openly bitter about losing his job, manager Lou Piniella appeased him by using him regularly in a variety of infielder and outfielder positions (mainly LF, 3B and SS, but also 2B, CF, DH and RF), with remarkable results.

During the 2001 Mariners' record-tying 116-win season, he racked up 409 at-bats, 117 hits, 69 walks, .286 batting average, .384 OBP and 39 stolen bases—all while playing without a regular position.

He currently serves as part of the Texas Rangers broadcast team, for whom he provides analysis on the pre- and post-game programs on Bally Sports Southwest.
