Craig Alan Gentry (born November 29, 1983) is a Major League Baseball outfielder for the Texas Rangers. He is known passionately within the fan base as "Kitten Face." Gentry is also known for his phenomenal speed.
Baseball career [edit]
He was drafted by Texas Rangers in the 10th round (298 overall) of the 2006 MLB Draft. He attended the University of Arkansas.
He was called up to the majors on September 1, 2009,[1] but did not see significant playing time. He began the 2010 season with the AAA Oklahoma City RedHawks, but was called up to the majors on April 27 due to Nelson Cruz being placed on the 15 day disabled list. On May 15, he was optioned to Oklahoma.
In 2011, he batted .271 in 133 at bats, with 18 steals in 18 attempts.[2]
