Personal Recollection

Kenny Harris was a position player on our 1954 St. Cloud Rox team, playing third base, and possibly the outfield at times. I believe he hailed from Texas. He was an agile, wiry young player who was a fast runner and a pretty good contact hitter. At times he could hit with some power. He was witty and liked to tell "tall Texas tales." He may have also played for St. Cloud after the '54 season. Could we find the career stats on Kenny ?
