Jeffrey Franklin Kent (born March 7, 1968 in Bellflower, California) is a former Major League Baseballsecond baseman. Kent won the National League Most Valuable Player award in 2000 with the San Francisco Giants, and he is the all-time leader in home runs among second basemen. He drove in 90 or more runs from 1997 to 2005, a streak of run production for a second baseman which is a position typically known for its defense. Kent is a five-time All-Star, and his 560 career doubles put him tied for 21st on the all-time doubles list.
After four seasons in the minor leagues, Kent was invited to spring training with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1992 and made the opening day roster. He made his debut on April 12 against the Baltimore Orioles and recorded his first career hit (a double) in the 6th inning against José Mesa. He hit his first home run on April 14 against New York YankeespitcherLee Guetterman. He saw limited at-bats early in the season; however, an injury to starting third basemanKelly Gruber granted Kent a more regular role in the line-up.
Jeffrey John William (Jeff) Kent (born 28 July 1951) is an English academic and musician, as well as most notably an author and historian.
Early life and education
Kent was born on 28 July 1951 in Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent, England, and was educated at Hanley High School in Stoke-on-Trent. He gained an honours degree in International Relations from the University of London in 1973 and a postgraduate Certificate of Education from Crewe College of Higher Education in 1974.
Career
Academic work
Kent taught History and Geography at Maryhill Comprehensive School, in Kidsgrove, from 1974 to 1975 and at Leek College from 1976 to 1980. In 1980, he became a full-time lecturer in General Studies at Stoke-on-Trent Technical College, but halved his post in 1986 to enable him to spend more time on his creative work. In 1982, he established and co-ordinated the first Flexi-Study (Open Learning) course in Staffordshire and went on to tutor in History, Geography, Ecology and Sociology. In 1991, he began lecturing in English at Stoke on Trent College and later lectured there in History, Geography and International Perspectives. From 1994 to 2010, he lectured in Writing & Publishing and Creative Writing and from 2006 to 2010 served as the college's UCU branch secretary.
Between London and the Strait of Dover, which separates it from mainland Europe, Kent has seen both diplomacy and conflict, ranging from the Leeds Castle peace talks of 1978 and 2004 to the Battle of Britain in World War II.
England relied on the county's ports to provide warships through much of its history; the Cinque Ports in the 12th–14th centuries and Chatham Dockyard in the 16th–20th centuries were of particular importance. France can be seen clearly in fine weather from Folkestone and the White Cliffs of Dover. Hills in the form of the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge span the length of the county and in the series of valleys in between and to the south are most of the county's 26 castles.
Kent was part of the Philipse Patent of 1697, when it was still populated by the Wappinger tribe. Daniel Nimham (1724–1778) was the last chief of the Wappingers and was the most prominent Native American of his time in the Hudson Valley.
The town was first settled by Europeans in the mid-18th century by Zachariah Merritt and others, from New England, Westchester County, or the Fishkill area. Elisha Cole and his wife Hannah Smalley built Coles Mills in 1748, having moved to that location the previous year from Cape Cod. Coles Mill operated until 1888 when it was submerged under West Branch Reservoir. Around this same time the northeastern part of the county was settled by the Kent, Townsend, and Ludington families, among others. The father of Hannah Smalley and his family moved to Kent about two years before Elisha Cole and his family.
"I try not to put a whole lot of weight into one play or one game or one pitch for any of us, ... You have to play a string of consistent baseball if you want to make the playoffs. We haven't been able to do that yet. We're pushing hard."
"I don't feel a sense of urgency. We've been trying to gain ground almost all year, but I don't see guys acting any different than earlier. And if they are, then they weren't doing a good enough job before."
"They have veteran experience and they've been able to pitch consistently. Yeah, they've had their ups and downs, but I think our rotation has been more stable than any other team in our division, which is a benefit -- especially down the stretch."
"We were taking advantage of the situation, ... It makes it easier for hitters when a pitcher's not throwing strikes. The kid (Williams) was having a hard time making adjustments and before we knew it, we had a bunch of runs."
"If you're going to accept the good times, you have to accept the bad times. This team is good enough to get through this. We'll be all right. I've played many years and I've been through this many times. These things happen."
"I think the game was out of hand before that (home run). It doesn't (mean a great deal) because I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm not a baseball historian. I don't go home and add it up. I'll add it all up after I retire."
"That was incredible, ... I'd quit just to come race with you guys every weekend. I've raced a motorcycle, and that was unbelievable. I love motorcycles, but this is amazing. These guys are incredible. When I got in the car, I couldn't really fit. They wanted me to get back more, and I couldn't get my shoulders back, but around the second turn, I was back in the headrest. That was amazing. I don't know how these guys can do 500 miles, 240 miles an hour, in and out of traffic, wheel-to-wheel and against the walls in front of 400,000 people. It blows my mind."

"That's not an excuse. Me and Barry fought all the time and we went to the World Series. Just because we can't all always get along doesn't mean we shouldn't win. It still shouldn't have affected the way we played."
Barry Bonds' beef with Jeff Kent included stolen bus seats, motorcycle mishaps, and a dugout fight
Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent were never going to get along. Bonds was self-centered, standoffish, and unwilling to conform to norms (or rules) to achieve his legendary accomplishments. Kent took himself and the traditions of baseball extremely seriously, even if it rubbed people the wrong way.
When they became teammates as Giants, everyone figured there would be blow-ups, and they were right: They battled in the clubhouse, on the field, on a bus during spring training, and in the dugout in full view of TV cameras. In spite of it all, they had great success together, even reaching a World Series.

Jeffrey Franklin Kent (born March 7, 1968 in Bellflower, California) is a former Major League Baseballsecond baseman. Kent won the National League Most Valuable Player award in 2000 with the San Francisco Giants, and he is the all-time leader in home runs among second basemen. He drove in 90 or more runs from 1997 to 2005, a streak of run production for a second baseman which is a position typically known for its defense. Kent is a five-time All-Star, and his 560 career doubles put him tied for 21st on the all-time doubles list.
After four seasons in the minor leagues, Kent was invited to spring training with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1992 and made the opening day roster. He made his debut on April 12 against the Baltimore Orioles and recorded his first career hit (a double) in the 6th inning against José Mesa. He hit his first home run on April 14 against New York YankeespitcherLee Guetterman.
