Mark 'LEM-on-jell-o', or Mark 'Le-MON-gel-lo'?

He had cool hair. He wore an ugly uniform. He only pitched two full seasons, and went 9-14 in both. His career stats resemble those of other pitchers about whom you know little or nothing.

He looked like that guy from "Puttin' on the Hits" and that guy from "The Greatest American Hero". Next to Rusty Kuntz, he had the coolest baseball name during my peak baseball-card-buying years (1976-1983).

For all these reasons, and because sponsoring his player page at the invaluable Baseball-Reference.com only cost $10, this very blog is now the official sponsor of Mark Lemongello.
