#443-444 Ken Henderson
Just a tad above average MLB outfielder...
Started baseball in San Francisco getting call ups for fair number of
years..... could have a nice season or two but never a star...career stats of
.257 BA and 122 homers were buoyed by 1970 and 1974 numbers....hit .294 for
Giants and .292 for White Sox respectively....1974 was also a comeback coming
off three years of diminished numbers...Output declined thereafter and
eventually became a well traveled reserve...Braves, Rangers, Mets, Reds, and Cubs were his addresses,
which stopped in 1980...Could do multiple things adequately....Was considered a
very fine defensive player with a strong arm...also showed surprising speed
early in career.
