Jeff Kent Honors Lasorda’s RBI Mantra on Hall of Fame Night
Jeff Kent was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown alongside Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones. In his speech he reflected on his Mets years, recalled Tommy Lasorda’s simple truth that the ‘money lies in the RBIs,’ which guided his focus on producing runs, and credited Eddie Murray for a calm, prepared approach that stuck with him throughout his career.
