Kevin Jay Rhomberg is a former left fielder in Major League Baseball. He was selected by the Cleveland Indians of the American League in the 14th round of the 1977 amateur draft, and made his major league debut on June 9, 1982. While Rhomberg's career consisted of just 41 games he batted an impressive .383 with an on-base percentage of .423. Not known for his defense, Rhomberg was considered primarily an outfielder, although he did log one start each at first, second, and third base during his brief career. As a player, however, Rhomberg was known not just for his hitting, but also for his long list of superstitions. His main superstition was the need to touch back someone who had just touched him. Kevin Rhomberg was born and raised in Dubuque where his father worked for a meatpacking company. He played both basketball and baseball in high school and led his baseball team to the school?s first state championship. It was during high school that he met Denice, now his wife of 33 years. Together they have four children and two grandchildren. In 1974, Kevin attended Lewis University in Illinois where he was a part of the NAIA World Series Championship Baseball Team. [More at Wikipedia]
