Ronald Baxter Henry is an American former professional baseball player, a catcher who spent one full season and part of another in Major League Baseball as a member of the Minnesota Twins. He threw and batted right-handed, stood 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighed 185 pounds. Henry's career lasted for 15 seasons. The first seven were spent in the farm system of the Milwaukee Braves. He was chosen in the 1960 Rule 5 draft after batting .310 for the Austin Senators of the Double-A Texas League, and spent the entire 1961 campaign with the Twins in their first season in the Twin Cities. He was the club's third-string catcher and played in only 20 games, 14 as a pinch hitter. Henry batted only .143 with four hits, then spent the next 2� seasons in the minor leagues until his recall to Minnesota in June 1964. With Battey, a five-time American League All-Star, still entrenched as the Twins' regular receiver, Henry's opportunities again were limited. He appeared in 22 games, 13 as a catcher, and logged 41 at bats. He hit his only two Major League home runs, off Don Lee and Dave Vineyard, but made only three other hits. [More at Wikipedia]
