About Rennie Stennett
On September 16, 1975, Stennett went 7-for-7 with five runs in a 22-0 Pirates win at Wrigley Field, tying the National League record for hits in a nine-inning game set by Wilbert Robinson in 1892; his Record Breakers card is #6. In 1976 he played 157 games, hit .257 with 18 steals, and watched Pittsburgh finish second to Philadelphia. His regular Pirates card is #425.
Rennie Stennett was a second baseman who spent nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates and two with the San Francisco Giants. Born in Colon, Panama, and raised in the Canal Zone, he grew up in Rod Carew's neighborhood, attended Carew's high school, and pitched to future Pirates catcher Manny Sanguillen on a sandlot team. Scout C. Herbert Raybourn signed him, and the move from outfield to second base came in the Florida Instructional League after 1970. He debuted on July 10, 1971, and on September 1 of that year was in the lineup when Pittsburgh became the first major league team to open a game with an all-minority nine. A hustling leadoff man, he drove in a career-high 62 runs in 1975. He was on the 1979 World Series champions, then took a five-year, $3 million contract from San Francisco through the re-entry draft. The Giants released him on April 2, 1982. He finished with a .274 average, 1,239 hits and 41 home runs, played in Mexico, and signed again with the Pirates in 1989 at 38.
