Adam Kennedy
Adam Thomas Kennedy (born January 10, 1976) is an American former professional baseball second baseman. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Athletics, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Washington Nationals, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Kennedy was born in Riverside, California. He attended John W. North High School in Riverside, playing baseball and basketball. His father coached baseball and taught at North High School.
Kennedy attended Cal State Northridge, where he played shortstop for the Matadors. He set school records in career hits, runs batted in (RBI), and batting average and was a three-time All-American. He led the nation in hits as a sophomore and junior. In 1996, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League.
Kennedy was drafted in the first round (20th overall) by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1997 MLB draft. In 1999 with the Memphis Redbirds, he hit .327 with 10 home runs and 63 RBI. He was selected as a Pacific Coast League All-Star and a Baseball America first-team Minor League All-Star.
He made his MLB debut on August 21, 1999, for the Cardinals against the New York Mets at second base. He was hitless in four at-bats in that game. His first MLB hit was a three-RBI double to left field the next day off Orel Hershiser of the Mets. His first MLB home run came on August 31 against Brian Meadows of the Florida Marlins. He appeared in 33 games for the Cardinals in 1999, hitting .255 with 1 home run and 16 RBIs. In the 2000 offseason, the Cardinals signed former All-Star Fernando Viña to start at second base, making Kennedy, who hadn't separated himself from his infield counterparts, expendable.
On March 23, 2000, Kennedy was traded to the Anaheim Angels along with All-Star pitcher Kent Bottenfield for outfielder Jim Edmonds.
Kennedy matched a team record with eight RBI in 16–10 win over the Blue Jays on April 18, 2000.
Kennedy would finish his rookie season, batting .266/.300/.403 with 9 home runs and 72 RBIs. He received a single vote in AL Rookie of the Year voting, tying him for sixth place with Steve Cox, Mark Redman and Barry Zito.
