Career highlights and awards

Gerald Donald Kindall (born May 27, 1935 in St. Paul, Minnesota), is a retired professional baseball player who played second base in the major leagues from 1956-1965. Kindall was originally signed up by the Chicago Cubs as a bonus baby. No one since 1920 with at least 2000 at-bats has a lower career batting average than Kindall's .213, but he did have above average power for a second baseman.

A long time baseball coach for the University of Arizona, Kindall is a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and the author of Baseball: Play the Winning Way and co-editor of The Baseball Coaching Bible. Jerry Kindall also led Arizona to three College World Series titles.
