Kevin Romine

Kevin Andrew Romine (born May 23, 1961 in Exeter, New Hampshire) is a former utility outfielder in Major League Baseball who played for the Boston Red Sox throughout his career (1985-1991). He wore #16 (sixteen) throughout his career.

A New Hampshire native, Romine batted and threw right-handed. After an All-American career at Arizona State University, Romine was selected in the 2nd round of the Major League Baseball amateur draft by the Boston Red Sox and subsequently spent six seasons in Boston.

On July 16, 1988, Romeo connected off the Kansas City Royals Steve Farr in the bottom of the ninth for a 7-6 Red Sox victory. Amazingly, Romine accomplished the same feat almost two years to the day on July 2, 1990, when he blasted a ninth inning game winning home run off the Texas Rangers Kenny Rogers.

In 1989, Romine set a career high in games filling in for banged-up outfielders Dwight Evans and Ellis Burks, batting .274. On July 2, 1989 went 5 for 5 against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The final home run of his career, on May 5, 1991 off the Chicago White Sox Alex Fernandez, was a grand slam.

He was released in the middle of the 1991 season after batting .164.

His career stats include a .251 batting average, with 5 home runs and 55 RBIs. He had 30 doubles and 1 triple in his 630 career at bats.

His two sons were recently drafted by the Anaheim Angels (Andrew Romine) and the New York Yankees (Austin Romine).
