Probably not on the first ballot because his surly disposition didn't endear himself to a lot of potential Hall of Fame voters. But his offensive stats as a second baseman certainly have put him in an excellent position to make the Hall of Fame eventually. In his 17 major league seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, Cleveland Indians, San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers, he hit .290, slammed 377 home runs and drove in 1,518 runs. His 351 homers as a second baseman are the most in history for that position. He is the only second baseman ever to have 100 RBI in six consecutive seasons (1997-2002). A five-time All Star, Kent also was Most Valuable Player in the National League in 2000, when he batted .334, hit 33 homers and drove in 125 runs. He is one of only five players to win an MVP in the National League since 2000 (the others: Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins).
