Some Famous People called Henry Kimbro
Henry Kimbro
Henry Allen Kimbro (February 10, 1912 – July 11, 1999), nicknamed "Jimbo", was an American Negro league outfielder from the late 1930s through the early 1950s. He played for the Washington Elite Giants, Baltimore Elite Giants, and the New York Black Yankees and managed the Birmingham Black Barons from 1952-1953 before retiring from baseball.
Kimbro was a lead-off hitter for most of his professional baseball career, owing to his patience at the plate and speed around the base paths. Notable accomplishments include finishing third in batting average twice; .371 in 1946, .363 in 1947. He appeared in six East-West All-Star Games. He also won the batting title with a .346 average, and set a league record with 104 hits, playing for Havana in the Cuban Winter League during the 1947-48 season.
Kimbro once hit a home run over the roof of Briggs Stadium in Detroit.
In 2004, Kimbro was posthumously inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.
