Watch Giants officially retire Jeff Kent’s No. 21

Kent later walked out of the dugout to AC/DC’s “Back in Black” and embraced Bonds, his former teammate. Following the ceremony, Kent delivered the ceremonial first pitch to his father, Alan Kent, before celebrating on the field in a truck while being chased by mascot Lou Seal.

Kent, 58, became the 15th player honored by San Francisco in this manner, while No. 21 became the organization’s 13th officially retired number. Christy Mathewson and John McGraw are included among the 15 honorees, although neither played during the era when MLB players wore uniform numbers.

The ceremony had originally been scheduled before Saturday’s single game, but the Giants’ schedule changed after a rainout makeup game in Atlanta forced Sunday’s series finale against the Diamondbacks to become a Saturday doubleheader. The Kent ceremony was consequently moved to the period between the two games.

Kent spent six of his 17 major-league seasons with San Francisco, appearing in 900 games and producing 175 home runs, 689 RBIs and a .290 batting average. His most decorated season with the Giants came in 2000, when he won the National League MVP award after recording a career-best .334 average, 1.021 OPS and 33 homers.

While playing for San Francisco, he also collected three of his four career Silver Slugger Awards and made three All-Star teams.

Kent spent time with the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, Cleveland Indians, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers during his 17-year career, hitting 377 home runs — the most ever by an MLB second baseman — and accumulating 1,518 RBIs, third-most among players at the position.
