After three seasons below .170, Kindall tried switch-hitting to win the Cubs' second
base job, but he was traded to Cleveland when Ken Hubbs arrived. He was the
Twins' 2B for most of their AL Championship 1965 season, but he hit only .196 and
was released before the WS.

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»June 16, 1962: A limping Mickey Mantle returns after a one-month absence to crack a 3-run pinch-hit home run in the 8th to give New York a 9–7 lead against Cleveland. The Tribe comes back to win it 10–9 in the 9th on Jerry Kindall's 2-run home run. Cleveland now leads the 3rd-place Yankees by a game and will sweep the 4-game series.
