Jeff Kent on Legacy, Bonds, and Baseball's Future | San Francisco Giants News
Description
Jeff Kent, Giants legend and newly enshrined in the rafters with his number 21, reflects on a career defined by clutch hits and grit. He recalls his mostly professional relationship with Barry Bonds, praising Bonds’ talent while acknowledging their off-field distance. Kent also champions the “Women Driven” program he helped launch, crediting Bob Milano for launching his college baseball career and shaping him beyond the diamond. Critiquing today’s game, he laments the overemphasis on analytics and homers, calling for a return to situational hitting and patience — especially for young stars like Buster Posey. Now embracing his Hall of Fame role, Kent admits his direct style may need tweaking but is ready to lead, advise, and soak in every moment of this new chapter.
