McLemore grew up in Southeast San Diego, where he went to Samuel F. B. Morse High School with Sam Horn. They were coached by Bob Mendoza, a San Diego Hall of Champions Coaching Legend inductee.\n', '

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.\n', '

McLemore\'s primary claim to fame is his nickname "Supersub", which he earned due to his contributions to the 2001–03 Seattle Mariners. The club\'s regular 2nd baseman during the 2000 season, in 2001 he was replaced by Bret Boone, who had been acquired during the offseason. 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.\n', '
