Ken Henderson
Kenneth Joseph Henderson
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: June 15, 1946 in Carroll, IA
Signed: 1964 by the San Francisco Giants
Acquired: sent from the Texas Rangers to complete an earlier deal, March 1978; the Texas Rangers had traded
Tom Grieve and a player to be named later (Henderson) to the New York Mets; the Atlanta Braves sent Willie Montanez to the Mets; the Rangers sent Adrian Devine, Tommy Boggs, and Eddie Miller to the Braves; the Rangers sent Bert Blyleven to the Pittsburgh Pirates; the Pirates sent Al Oliver and Nelson Norman to the Rangers; the Mets sent Jon Matlack to the Rangers and John Milner to the Pirates

Ken served parts of eight years with the Giants before going on to play with several other major-league teams. Even though he was in the Mets' Opening-Day lineup in 1978, they had him for only seven games at the beginning of the season, and then got rid of him just in the nick of time, as he only batted .194 for the rest of his career. He is pictured here with San Francisco on his 1966 Topps card.
