Bracketed around that were short stints for the Washington Senators in and for the St. Louis Browns in.
In 285 games over four seasons, Kenworthy posted a.304 batting average with 159 runs, 71 doubles, 21 triples, 18 home runs, 146 RBI, 61 stolen bases, 67 bases on balls,.360 on-base percentage and.473 slugging percentage. He finished his career with a.946 fielding percentage playing primarily at second base and several games at left and right field.
Kenworthy drowned while fishing off the California coast on September 21, 1950.
