Forum > Kenny freakin' Rodgers

One reason I always enjoyed watching Kenny Rodgers pitch was his ability to hold runners and his ability to field his position. Many times I saw runners returning to 1B while Rodgers delivered to the batter.

But I was flabbergasted at finding out that in 2002 Rodgers managed to steal more bases than stolen bases given up...despite pitching 210+ innings. Yep....he managed to steal one base (the only one of his career) while not giving up any steals. I imagine he also picked off a half dozen or so, as he usually did that as well.

The details are linked below....but I just find that amazing.

Mr Man
Kenny really was a good pitcher if he hadn't pulled that crap with the camera guy he could have gone down as one of the all time Ranger Greats.

You're either great or you're not. Hitting a cameraman was bad but had NOTHING to do with him on the field.. How in the hell does the cameraman biz have anything to do with whether he was great or not? GEEEEZ

This web site is in need of new ownership! Joey the longer you ignore your property the more your reputation suffers. Come on man, man up you only have one professional reputation and you are too young to destroy it now.

@Not That Eric no one apparently as a Fajita is not a grilled flank steak.

Fajita- A dish consisting of strips of marinated meat, poultry, or vegetables that are grilled over an open fire and served in a tortilla, usually with spicy condiments. Often used in the plural.

Very true Fajita. He is just to much of a simpleton to see the dish as a whole. He can only handle the meat.
