My Take
I'll be honest, Jeff Kent is one of those guys who never seemed to want to be liked, and I kind of respect that. He was the rare second baseman who hit like a cleanup slugger, grinding out 17 seasons across six teams and snagging that 2000 NL MVP with the Giants while Barry Bonds was busy being a one-man circus. He had this prickly, blue-collar edge, the motorcycle controversy, the dugout dust-ups, and somehow that made him more interesting, not less. Then he went and did Survivor, which feels totally on brand for a guy who treated every at-bat like a personal grudge. Underrated, undeniably tough, and quietly one of the best power-hitting middle infielders the game ever saw. I love a competitor who doesn't care if you love him.
