Varsity Pitcher

1932 Captain of the Massachusetts All Scholastic Baseball Team.

Varsity Pitcher on the Holy Cross College Baseball Team

Pitcher for the Boston Braves of the National Baseball League

One of the most important decisions he made as prinicpal was to hire a very young

and as yet, untested Frank Carey as his varsity baseball coach in 1968. As you all

know, this proved to be a very insightful one on Mr. Kenney's part as our baseball

program has gone on to national prominence in the years since.

Mr. Kenney is the staunchest fan of all North Reading sports teams, especiJ,lly

baseball. He faithfully attended all of the Hornets' home games and as many away

games as he could. His support of all athletes was unwavering.
