About Terry Kennedy (baseball)
- Terrence Edward Kennedy (born June 4, 1956) is a former All-Star Major League Baseball catcher who played for the St.
- Louis Cardinals (1978–80), San Diego Padres (1981–86), Baltimore Orioles (1987–88) and San Francisco Giants (1989–91).
- Kennedy batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
- He is the son of former major league player and manager Bob Kennedy. Born in Euclid, Ohio, Kennedy played college baseball at Florida State University.
- He was a two-time All-American and Sporting News College Player of the Year in 1976.
- Kennedy was inducted into the FSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1982. In a 14-year major league career, Kennedy hit .264 with 113 home runs and 628 RBI in 1491 games.
- Kennedy tied Johnny Bench's NL mark of 40 doubles in a season in 1982.
- That same year, Kennedy won the Silver Slugger Award.
- He appeared in four All-Star Games (1981, 1983, 1985, and 1987).
- He also played in two World Series, with the Padres in 1984 and with the Giants in 1989.
- Terry and his father, Bob, became the first father and son duo to drive in runs in a World Series when Terry drove in two against the Tigers in 1984 in his first at bat. Throughout most of his career, Kennedy wore #16, which he was assigned on his first day in major league camp with the Cardinals.
- When he came to the Orioles, he could not get #16 because veteran pitcher Scott McGregor already had the number, so he wore #15 during his time with them.
- He reverted to #16 during his time with the Giants, during which he took part in the earthquake-interrupted 1989 World Series. After his playing days, Kennedy managed, coached, and instructed in the minor leagues for the St.
- Louis Cardinals, Montreal Expos, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, as well as the Independent Leagues.
- Kennedy was voted Manager of the Year twice, including Baseball America Manager of the Year in 1998, when he led the Iowa Cubs to a first-place finish. Terry is a scout with the Chicago Cubs.
