Jeff Kent, entering the Hall of Fame, will have his No. 21 retired by the Giants on August 29.

Jeff Kent said he was overwhelmed and emotional upon learning the San Francisco Giants will retire his No. 21 jersey on August 29 at Oracle Park, calling the honor a flood of memories. The 2000 NL MVP and five-time All-Star, set to enter the Hall of Fame in July with Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones, reflected on his career, past competitiveness, and his evolving perspective on the game. Now a grandfather and businessman, Kent, currently a guest instructor in spring training, is refining his Hall of Fame speech and enjoys mentoring young players while staying mindful of boundaries.
