Jon Lester Makes His Pitch... Selling Cars!
Wednesday, July 25th , 2001
Why is Jon Lester suddenly so popular around his hometown? Might it have something to do with his series of TV and radio commercials for a local car dealership that has taken the city by storm?

Viewers can't seem to pin down what exactly it is about the Memphis player that is so endearing, but Lester now has a cult following around town.

"I've never sold cars in my life. To be perfectly honest, they probably just wanted a team member that fit their price range," Lester said with a hearty laugh. "I've always been that kind of guy, and I thought it was something fun to do with some free time. I'm big on supporting local businesses, too."
