Larry Herndon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Larry Darnell Herndon (born November 3, 1953 in Sunflower, Mississippi) is an American former Major League Baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals (1974), San Francisco Giants (1976-1981), and Detroit Tigers (1982-1988).
Herndon was particularly known for his time with the great Tigers teams of the 1980s. He made the final out in the 1984 World Series, catching a fly ball in left field off the bat of San Diego Padres star Tony Gwynn. Three years later, Herndon would hit a solo home run on the final day of the season against the Toronto Blue Jays; it proved to be the only run in a 1-0 Detroit victory over the Jays that clinched the American League East division title over them by two games. Currently, he serves as a coach for the Lakeland Tigers.
