Then he suffered a major injury around the All-Star break. He came back the next year and had a good season at AAA. So the next year he was promoted to the Bigs and had a terrible start.

His M L record is .241, 36 Homers, 123 RBI's and 26 Doubles. Houston better figure out his Problem before he gets traded again.

Kennie(Buckport) Riley was selected by the Kansas City Amnesiacs(Toledo Christian Beavers). He spent 3 uneventful years in the K C minors then was traded to Cincinnati in his 4th season. He spent his entire carrer at the minor leagues until late last year . The howlers gave him a few at bats then traded him in the offseason to the Injuns.
