Joey Meyer (baseball player)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joey Meyer (born May 10, 1962 as "Tanner Joseph Meyer") was a major league baseball player for the Milwaukee Brewers from 1988-1989.
Born May 10, 1962 in Honolulu, HI, he was known both for his prodigious fence busting power numbers as well as his proclivity for getting more strikeouts than hits.
He played baseball for the Harvard-Westlake Wolverines in middle school.
Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 5th round of the 1983 amateur draft, he bashed his way through the minor leagues, finally making his major league debut with the Brewers on April 4, 1988.
In his 2 seasons in the majors, he poked 18 homers, banged 119 hits, and grabbed 124 strikeouts in the process.
His final game was on September 30, 1989. His current whereabouts are unknown.
