Episode Details

The San Francisco Giants made history today by retiring Jeff Kent’s number 21, honoring the legendary second baseman who dazzled fans with 377 home runs and three Silver Slugger Awards during his six seasons with the team. Now the 15th player to earn this honor, Kent’s number joins an elite list that includes Willie Mays and Willie McCovey — and no one will ever wear it again. The emotional ceremony featured star-studded appearances from Bonds, Clark, and Posey, heartfelt tributes from Jon Miller, and a surprise moment when Kent, to roaring applause, walked out to AC/DC’s “Back in Black,” threw the ceremonial first pitch to his dad, and rode off in a truck — forever cementing his place in Giants lore.
