It is not that he should not be in the discussion, as statistically he most certainly should be. Kent retired as the all-time leader for Home Runs by a Second Basemen (377), has four Silver Slugger Awards, and has a very respectable career WAR over 50. Yet for Kent, his best years were in the massive shadow of Barry Bonds who was putting up PlayStation numbers and he is more remembered for a dugout altercation with the Home Run King than for the excellent play he put up himself.
