Jeff Kent spent the majority of his big league career at second. But on the all-time home run list among second basemen, Kent is alone in first.
Kent, the 2000 National League Most Valuable Player who played 17 big league seasons with six teams, was born March 7, 1968 in Bellflower, Calif. He attended Edison High School in Huntington Beach before enrolling at the University of California-Berkeley, where he eventually starred after earning a roster spot as a walk-on. He was taken in the 20th round of the 1989 MLB Draft by the Blue Jays with the 523rd overall pick.
