Ken Suarez
Kenneth Raymond Suarez (Born April 12, 1943) is a former Major League Baseball catcher. The 5'9", 175 lb. right-handed hitter is best remembered for a suit he filed against the Texas Rangers in which he claimed that his February 12, 1974 trade to the Cleveland Indians was in retaliation for his having filed for arbitration. Suarez never reported to camp for the Indians, retiring at just thirty years old, instead.

Famous quotes containing the word ken:
“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
