Kenneth Alphonse Simendinger (October 23, 1899 - ???) was a professional football in the National Football League for the Hartford Blues in 1926. He also played for the Waterbury-Hartford Blues in 1924, prior to that team's entry into the NFL. He was also a head college basketball coach at his alma mater, Holy Cross from 1924 until 1925.
At Holy Cross, Simendinger played three years of college football and baseball. He hit two home runs and a double in his baseball debut against Dartmouth College, earning him the nickname the “Babe Ruth of the Eastern Intercollegiates.” Simendinger is the only Crusader coach to have served for just one season, as he then became football coach at Gonzaga High School in Washington D.C. He was inducted into the Crusader Varsity Club Hall of Fame in 1958.
