## Resource

Jeff Kent, the legendary Giants second baseman, is officially enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame, joining Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltran in this year’s class. With 377 home runs — the most ever by a second baseman — and a career batting average over .290, Kent’s stats speak volumes. He was a cornerstone of the Giants’ late ‘90s and early 2000s dominance, even winning MVP in 2000. Ahead of his induction, Kent reflected on advice from Hall of Famer Johnny Bench: “act like you belong” — a mantra that perfectly captures his poise and earned legacy. The Giants are honoring him by retiring his No. 21 jersey later this year, a tribute to his pivotal role in their World Series runs. From draft pick to MVP to Hall of Famer, Kent’s journey is a masterclass in dedication, skill, and quiet greatness.
