Birth Year 1978

Kevin Mench is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on January 7, 1978 in Wilmington, Wilmington, United States. Kevin Ford Mench (born January 7, 1978) is an American former professional baseball outfielder who played eight years in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the Texas Rangers (2002–2006), Milwaukee Brewers (2006–2007), Toronto Blue Jays (2008) and Washington Nationals (2010).

Mench hit only .230 with 1 home run and 18 runs batted in for the Brewers.

On April 26, 2006, Mench became the 19th player in major league history to hit a home run in at least six straight games. The streak started, oddly, not too long after Mench discovered that a recurring toe injury was due to a shoe problem – he had been wearing size 12 shoes since his teenage years, but discovered his actual shoe size was 12½.

On January 16, 2007, Mench and the Brewers agreed on a one-year contract for the 2007 season that would pay him $3.4 million. he was not offered a new contract by the Brewers and became a free agent on December 12, 2007. On February 12, 2008, Mench signed a minor league deal to return to the Rangers.

On June 30, 2005, Mench hit 3 home runs in a single game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
