Career

A 4th round pick in the 1987 draft, Chamberlain, who played high school baseball at Neal F. Simeon H.S. in Chicago, was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates out of the Jackson State University. In 1990, he was sent by Pittsburgh to Philadelphia in the same transaction that brought Carmelo Martínez to the Pirates. His most productive season came in 1991 with the Phillies, when he posted career-highs in home runs (13), RBI (50), runs (51), hits (92), stolen bases (9) and games played (101), including three four-hit games. The effort earned him the 5th place in the NL Rookie of the Year Award vote. He also appeared in the 1993 World Series, won by the Toronto Blue Jays in six games. During the 1994 midseason, he was sent by Philadelphia to Boston in exchange for Paul Quantrill and Billy Hatcher.

In a six-season career, Chamberlain was a .255 hitter with 43 home runs and 167 RBI in 385 games. After that, he was signed by the Japan's Chiba Lotte Marines in 1996.

Following his major league career, Chamberlain played for a number of independent league teams, including the Gary SouthShore RailCats and Winnipeg Goldeyes of the Northern League, being selected an All-Star in 2000 and 2003.
