kendall wore the tools of ignorance for the indians in 102 games during the 1977 season.  he also made an appearance as their dh.  he hit 3 homers and drove in 39 runs, matching his rbi total from 1976.  he also hit the final triple of his career as a member of the tribe.  the following spring, kendall was sent to the bosox where he spent the 1978 season before returning to san diego in 1979.

voici à vous, 1977 fred kendall!
