Hey guys, let me share something interesting I did recently. I got myself into this dude named Ken Phelps, and I really wanted to know more about him. I’m telling you, this guy’s got a story.
First off, I started digging into his basic info. I found out his full name is Kenneth Allen Phelps, and people called him “Digger”. He was born on August 6, 1954, in Seattle. Cool, right? Then I learned that he got drafted in 1976 by the Kansas City Royals in the 15th round. I mean, being drafted is a big deal, so I knew there was more to this guy.
So, I kept digging. I found out that Ken played for 11 seasons, which is quite a while. Not only that, but he played for six different teams! The Mariners and Athletics were in the mix. Imagine switching teams that much. His batting average was .239, and he had 443 hits with 123 home runs. I thought to myself, “This guy was a serious player.”
Diving into the Details
Next, I wanted to get into the nitty-gritty details. I looked up his stats, height, weight, and career totals. I even found info about the schools he went to and the positions he played. He was a designated hitter, and man, those details painted a full picture.
