#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.
