Joey Meyer (baseball)

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, Hawaii, 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 and two years in high 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. On August 9, 1988, he became the first (and as of now, the only) player to hit a walk-off home run off of Roger Clemens

His final game was on September 30, 1989. His current whereabouts are unknown.
