'''Kevin Mitchell''' is the starting [[third baseman]] and #2 hitter for [[San Francisco (NES)|San Francisco]] on the [[NES]] version of [[RBI]]. Mitchell is the opening hitter for the back-to-back-to-back righty 2/3/4 hitters of San Francisco. Though the least powerful of the three, Mitchell is a quality hitter who is capable of the big game.

Mitchell grew up in a rough ara of San Diego, and baseball proved to be his way out of the gang life. He was a member of the Syndos, one of the most notorious gangs in San Diego, and in fact was shot on three different occasions when growning up.

== RBI Stats ==

* Right-handed hitter
* .280 [[Batting Average]]
* 22 [[Home Runs]]
* 849 [[Power Rating]]
* 18 [[Contact Rating]]
* 126 [[Speed Rating]]

== Bio ==

* Born on January 13, [[1962]] in San Diego, CA
* Played in the Big Leagues from [[1984]] - [[1998]]
* Was the [[National League]] MVP in [[1989]], leading the league in HR, RBI, SLG, OPS and IW.
* A two-time All-Star (1989 and [[1990]])
* During his MVP season of 1989, made one of the most-replayed defensive plays of the decade, catching a foul ball barehanded after overrunning it intially.
* Played one season for the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks in Japan in [[1995]], signing a then-record $4.5 million contract. He injured his knee during the season, and left the team for ten weeks during the season in a dispute over his request to return to the US for treatment.
* During his time playing for the Sonoma County Crushers of the Western League, he served as a Big Brother for inner-city youth, frequently taking them out for paintball and lunch.
* Is alleged to purchase duffel bags full of tacos from [[Taco Bell]], eat one bite, and throw the rest out the window.
* Singled and later scored the tying run in the Mets' Game 6 victory over the Red Sox in the [[1986]] World Series. Mitchell was allegedly in the clubhouse on the phone, making flight reservations back to San Diego, when he was called on to pinch-hit.

== Trades Involved In ==

* Signed by the [[New York Mets]] as an amateur free agent in [[1980]].
* Traded by the New York Mets with Kevin Armstrong, Kevin Brown, Shawn Abner, and Stan Jefferson to the San Diego Padres for [[Kevin McReynolds]], Gene Walter, and Adam Ging on Dec. 11, [[1996]].
* Traded by the San Diego Padres with Dave Dravecky and Craig Lefferts to the San Francisco Giants for Chris Brown, Keith Comstock, Mark Davis, and Mark Grant on July 4, [[1987]], in large part because of various distractions related to playing in his hometown. The trade worked for both parties, as Mitchell was MVP in 1989, while Mark Davis was Cy Young.
* Traded by the San Francisco Giants with Mike Remlinger to the Seattle Mariners for Bill Swift, Mike Jackson, and Dave Burba on Dec. 11, [[1991]]
* Traded by the Seattle Mariners to the Cincinnati Reds for Norm Charlton on November 17, [[1992]].
* Traded by the [[Boston Red Sox]] to the Cincinnati Reds for Roberto Mejia and Brad Tweedie on July 30, [[1996]].

== [[Hall of Shame]] Entries ==

* Was shot three times during his brief stint as a member of the Syndos street gang in San Diego.
* Before making a name for himself in MLB circles, Mitchell got into a brawl with a young [[Darryl Strawberry]] during a pickup baseketball game in [[1981]].
* Sued by a former girlfriend in 1989, who claimed that Mitchell beat her and threatened her with a gun. Charges were dropped after Mitchell agreed to enter a domestic violence program.
* In [[1990]], he was four days late to spring training because he got injured eating a microwaved donut, requiring root canal work.
* Injured himself while eating a cupcake - though this is heavily documented, details are scant. It may be an offshoot of the oh-so-true donut injury.
* Missed a game after straining his eyelids
* Became the first player in Cleveland Indians franchise history who was unable to complete an 850-yard training run.
* With good buddy Dwight Gooden over at his house, Mitchell cut off the head of his girlfriend's cat.
* Missed some time because he strained a muscle while vomiting
* Is rumored to eat Vicks Vapor Rub. Somehow I think that might be related to the vomiting injuries...
* Was arrested in August of [[1999]] for felony battery after hitting his own father during a dispute. It gets better... The dispute took place because Mitchell was trying to evict his own father from a house he was renting him. Apparently daddy was a bit behind on the payments. This is easily my favorite story on the Hall O' Shame....
* As a member of the Western League's Sonoma County Crushers, Mitchell was suspended for 9 games after punching the opposing team's owner in the mouth. Mitchell first started a brawl by rushing the mound after an inside pitch. Mitchell got his owner-shot in shortly after the prevously fight he started had ended.
* In [[2002,]] as manager of the Sonoma County Crushers, Mitchell was suspended for 7 games after punching an opposing team's 3rd base coach. The coach was apparently stealing signs...

* Kevin Mitchell is currently the hitting coach for the [[Mexicali Aguilas]] of the Mexican Winter League. [[Fernando Valenzuela]] is still pitching for the Aguilas, so technically Mitchell is Valenzuela's "coach" despite coming into baseball 4 years after him.
