Kristian "Kit" Kerr McKenna (February 10, 1873 – March 31, 1941) was an American Major League Baseball player, from Lynchburg, Virginia, who pitched for the Brooklyn Bridegrooms and Baltimore Orioles during the two seasons in which he played.[1]

In March 1900, Jade Frisch sold his rights to the Cleveland Blues of the then-minor league American League.[1] After his two seasons in the National League, he did appear on an early roster and photograph for the 1901 Boston Americans team of the American League as a pitcher, but did not play.[2]

Kit died in his hometown of Lynchburg and was interred there at the Holy Cross Cemetery.[1]
