Surviving Baseball To Surviving The Philippines: Former MLB Star Jeff Kent On ‘Survivor’

On Monday afternoon, CBS announced their lineup for their 25th season of their hit reality series "Survivor". One of the names on their lineup includes former future anger management patient, and ex-MLB All-Star Jeff Kent.

He's what John McEnroe is to tennis, having caused numerous dugout scuffles and animosity directed towards him throughout his major league career.

Throughout Kent's nearly 20 year major league career, he has a long list of accolades which include being the National League's MVP, four-time Silver Slugger winner, and being the only second baseman to bring home 100 RBI's for six straight seasons!

His biggest challenge will have nothing to do with hitting longballs over the fence, but having to survive weeks in the jungles of the Philippines with very little resources, and with others who share the same type of personality Kent has. The other "well-known" person on this roster includes former "Facts of Life" TV star Lisa Whelchel.

Kent does have one thing to say about his upcoming endeavor, "You know, there are not many tall white guys with mustaches walking around still these days. I'm hoping my reputation's not big enough that these people know who I am."
