Kenny Rogers was born on Tuesday, November 10, 1964, in Savannah, Georgia. Rogers was 24 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 6, 1989, with the Texas Rangers. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Kenny Rogers baseball stats page.
"It was one of the greatest pieces of scouting you'll ever see. Kenny couldn't have weighed more than 140 pounds soaking wet. He had long, real skinny arms. He was playing right field. He threw two balls over third base and two over the catcher's head. I could see he had a strong arm, but that was it. Nobody, and I mean nobody in baseball history, has ever gone further in his particular craft than Kenny Rogers.… It's got to be one of the greatest stories in baseball history. I just wish Joe (Marchese) was alive to see it." - Former Texas Rangers Player Personnel Director Joe Klein
