Rod Kanehl
Baseball
Before making the major leagues, Kanehl played for eight seasons in the New York Yankees\' and Cincinnati Reds\' minor league systems. In 1962, at age 28, he was given an opportunity to try out for the Mets\' opening season. Through spring training, he worked tirelessly for a spot on the roster. He leaped over an outfield wall in pursuit of a ball and he scored from second on a wild pitch. His attitude and all-out play earned him the nickname ′′Hot Rod′′.\n', '

In a three-year career spanning 340 games, Kanehl batted .241 and accrued six home runs, 47 RBI, 103 runs, 23 doubles and 17 stolen bases. A highly versatile utilityman, he played every position except pitcher and catcher.\n', '
