Former local player ‘Frosty’ remembered
Posted: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 2:27 pm
A baseball player with Plainview ties has made a list of baseball greats.
Forrest "Frosty" Kennedy, who played for Plainview's minor league team in the 1950s, was included on Terry Cannon's list of All-Time Southland Baseball All-Stars.
The story appears on the Los Angeles Times' Web site, www.latimes.com.
Cannon is the executive director of the Baseball Reliquary, which celebrates pioneers and trailblazers, and often emphasizes cultural contributions made by ballplayers over statistical accomplishments. Therefore, his list of all-stars includes both well-known and obscure figures.
Cannon's information on Kennedy, who was born in Los Angeles, says he "never played in the major leagues, but was considered by many to be the Babe Ruth of the minor leagues.
"He hit an astounding 60 home runs for Plainview, Texas, in the Southwestern League in 1956. No one in the majors has hit .400 since Ted Williams in 1941; Kennedy hit .410 at Riverside in the Sunset League in 1949 and .410 at Plainview in 1953.
"Kennedy had a few chances to go up to the bigs, but he opted to stay in the minors because he was making decent money and ‘in the little towns where I played, the people always wanted to buy me dinner, buy me drinks. I made out real well right where I was at.' "

Why All The Fuss? Homer Mark Is 72
62 MAC-NIFICENTOk, So It's A Minor-league Record. But Joe Bauman Hit 72 Homers In 1954 - And He Did It In 138 Games.
September 09, 1998
By Michael Rosenberg, Chicago TribuneCHICAGO - The media frenzy around Mark McGwire has reached a crescendo, and it's hard to figure why. All this fuss, and McGwire isn't even close to Joe Bauman's record.
That's not to say McGwire can't catch Bauman. If the St. Louis Cardinals slugger has a hot September, he might surpass Bauman's historic mark of 72 home runs. But really, even that would have to go into the record book with some kind of asterisk, for McGwire has 162 games to slug 72, but Bauman did it in just 138 games.
Of course, most of you older fans already knew that, having spent that magical summer of 1954 following Bauman's Roswell (N.M.) Rockets through the Class C Longhorn League.
McGwire might not reach Bauman, but he can continue his climb up the all-time list. With home run No. 60, he caught Forrest ``Frosty'' Kennedy (Plainview, Southwestern League, 1956), Tony Lazzeri (Salt Lake City, Pacific Coast League, 1925) and Babe Ruth (New York, American League, 1927). Tuesday, he passed someone named Roger Maris, also of New York of the American League, who hit 61 in 1961.
He is now tied with some really big boppers: Ken Guettler of Shreveport in 1956 and Moose Clabaugh of Tyler (Texas) in 1926 hit 62, followed by Joe Hauser of Baltimore of the International League, who hit 63 in 1930. Then come Bob Lennon (Nashville, 1954) at 64 and Dick Stuart (Lincoln, 1956) at 66.
Finally, McGwire will be staring down Bob Crues (Amarillo, 1948) and Hauser again (Minneapolis, 1933), both of whom hit 69.
If McGwire catches Crues and Hauser, then - and only then - can he start thinking about Joe Bauman.
Like McGwire, Bauman felt the pressure of his chase. He hit No. 69 with five games left in the season, then hit a dry spell. When he woke up on the morning of a final-day doubleheader, Bauman was still tied with Hauser and Crues.
In his first at-bat of the doubleheader, Bauman pulled one down the right-field line to make the record his own.
``It created quite a stir,'' recalled Bauman, now 76 and still living in Roswell. ``I was glad it was over.''
Like many of today's sluggers, Bauman received extra money for every home run. But the method of payment was rather unconventional.
``The fans would just poke it in the chicken wire in the fence, and you would go around and pick it up,'' Bauman said. ``I'd make $40, $50, maybe up to $100, sometimes more. The night I broke the record, I got $800 or $900.''
Backed by that kind of loot, Bauman could do what he really wanted to - get out of baseball. He retired 1 1/2 years after breaking the record so he could work full time at his gas station and tire distributorship.

Lee Smith Signs With Houston
BASEBALL NOTES June 08, 1998
From Associated Press
The Houston Astros signed Lee Smith, the major leagues' career saves leader, to a minor league contract Sunday and assigned him to triple-A New Orleans.
Smith, 40, a seven-time All-Star, had retired last July, then made an unsuccessful comeback attempt in spring training with the Kansas City Royals, who released him. Over 18 seasons, Smith has earned 478 saves with eight teams. He is expected to join the Zephyrs in Tacoma on Monday.

Forrest "Frosty" Kennedy, a minor league slugger who was one of 11 baseball players to hit 60 home runs in a season, has died. He was 72.
Kennedy died Friday night of a heart attack in Covina, the Pasadena Star-News, reported Saturday.
Kennedy hit 60 home runs in a 144-game season while playing for Plainview, Texas, in the Class-B Southwestern League of 1956. He hit his 60th homer in his final at-bat on the final day of the season. He hit .327 that season, with 184 runs batted in, and scored 151 runs
He averaged .342 during a 10-year minor league career that began in 1948. He hit over .400 the next season , and again in 1953 at Plainview.
In recent years, he was the owner and operator of the BMX bicycle track at Whittier Narrows.
A standout in football and baseball at El Monte High , Kennedy served three years in the Navy. Later, Kennedy played semipro baseball and softball, and signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He was a member of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Minor League Hall of Fame, and his photo and statistics are displayed in the Babe Ruth Wing at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. He never played in the major leagues.
He is survived by a son, William, and a brother, Florren.
Services were pending.

Eddie Murray again had his No. 33 retired by the Baltimore Orioles, only this time they did it right.
Murray had his number previously retired by the team, but it was after he was traded from the Orioles to the Dodgers in 1988 and without a proper ceremony. Sunday, the future Hall of Fame entrant was surrounded by former teammates and friends as the Orioles rewarded him with a 1998 Corvette convertible.
Murray, now a bench coach with the Orioles, played 12 1/2 of his 21 major league seasons with Baltimore. He was traded after the 1988 season but returned in July 1996 in a trade with the Cleveland Indians.
He hit his 500th career homer on Sept. 6 of that season against Detroit, becoming one of only three players with 500 homers and 3,000 hits. Murray, 42, was always a popular player within the clubhouse, but he rarely granted interviews and regularly shunned the press.
Murray ended the ceremony with the words: "You talk about lost for words. All I can say is I love you. Let's get on with the ballgame."
He then got onto the back of the car and was driven around the stadium as the crowd chanted, "Eddie! Eddie!"

One For The X-files
In a season of inalienable glory, Roswell's Joe Bauman hit 72 homers
Keith Olbermann
Forrest (frosty) Kennedy died three months ago, without so much as a moment of silence at any ballpark in the country. That was a shame, because on Sept. 6, 1956, Kennedy, then a 30-year-old first baseman for the Plainview ( Texas) Ponies of the Class B Southwestern League, blasted his 60th home run of the season, against the San Angelo Colts. Kennedy was the last of three sluggers to hit 60 in '56. Dick Stuart of the Lincoln Chiefs of the Class A Western League, who would later destroy major league pitching—both as a batter and as Dr. Strangeglove at first base—and Ken Guettler of the Shreveport (La.) Sports of the Double A Texas League had both reached 60 in August. Guettler would finish with 62 homers and Stuart with 66, including 23 during a 28-game binge at midseason.
All of this underscores the fact that the monster homer season once wasn't such a rarity, at least not in the minors. In 1930 Joe Hauser socked 63 homers for the Double A Baltimore Orioles, then of the International League, and three years later he hit 69 for the Double A Minneapolis Millers of the American Association. Between his 31st and 35th birthdays Hauser averaged 53 homers a season.
The fascinating thing about these forgotten sluggers is that the American professional record for home runs in a season has virtually always been held by a minor leaguer. When Babe Ruth hit 54 for the 1920 Yankees, he surpassed Perry Werden's mark of 45 for the Minneapolis Miners of the Western League in 1895. Ruth extended the record to 59 in 1921, but a future teammate, second baseman Tony Lazzeri, answered with 60 for the Double A Salt Lake City Bees of the Pacific Coast League in '25. Before Ruth matched Lazzeri in '27, Moose Clabaugh of the Tyler Trojans of the Class D East Texas League hit 62 in '26.
Hauser and others would eventually surpass Clabaugh and Ruth. Bob Crues hit 69 for the AmariGold Sox of the Class C West Texas-New Mexico League in 1948 (driving in 254 runs—take that Juan Gonzalez!), and Bob Lennon belted 64 for the Nashville Vols of the Double A Southern Association in 1954. But the king of home run hitters remains an obscure man named Joe Bauman who played for the Roswell (N.Mex.) Rockets. In '54 Bauman became the only one of the hundreds of thousands of men who have played professional baseball in the U.S to hit as many as 70 homers in one season. All the standard disclaimers apply: It was "just the minors," the Roswell Rockets' Park Field stood 3,573 feet above sea level, and most of the stadiums in the Class C (a step above Class D, then the lowest classification in the minors) Longhorn League were laid out to give hitters the advantage of the Southwest's fairly constant 15-to 20-mph winds. On the other hand, by '54 most minor league games were being played at night under feeble lights that favored the pitchers. The lefthanded-batting Bauman also had to contend with a 329-foot rightfield corner in Roswell. Most convincingly, the 6'5", 235-pound Bauman hit his 72 homers in 138 games, a rate that would have produced 85 of them in a 162-game schedule.
Bauman, who like Crues, Guettler and Kennedy never spent a day in the majors, didn't dwell on his achievements. The ball that he hit for his 72nd tater was on display at a Roswell museum, and when asked about it later in life, he'd explain, "I've never been over there, and I haven't seen it."
Wait a minute. The museum is in Roswell, N.Mex.? Near the site of the alleged UFO crash in 1947? You don't suppose....

A look back to 1998
Despite 60 Homers, Mark Mcgwire Is On The Bottom Rung Among Some Sluggers Of Yesteryear.
Major Feats By Minor-leaguers
September 07, 1998
By Michael Rosenberg, Tribune Staff Writer.
The media frenzy around Mark McGwire is reaching a crescendo, and it's hard to figure why. All this fuss, and McGwire isn't even close to Joe Bauman's record.
That's not to say McGwire can't catch Bauman. If the St. Louis Cardinals slugger has a hot September, he might surpass Bauman's historic mark of 72 homers. But really, even that would have to go into the record book with some kind of asterisk, for McGwire has 162 games to slug 72, while Bauman did it in just 138 games.
Of course, most of you older fans already knew that, having spent that magical summer of 1954 following Bauman's Roswell (N.M.) Rockets through the Class C Longhorn League.
McGwire may not reach Bauman, but he can continue his climb up the all-time list. Having hit No. 60, he has caught Forrest "Frosty" Kennedy (Plainview, Southwestern League, 1956), Tony Lazzeri (Salt Lake City, Pacific Coast League, 1925) and Babe Ruth (New York, American League, 1927). Then he'll try to pass someone named Roger Maris, also of New York of the American League, who hit 61 in 1961.
After that come the really big boppers: Ken Guettler of Shreveport in 1956 and Moose Clabaugh of Tyler (Texas) in 1926 at 62, followed by Joe Hauser of Baltimore of the International League, who hit 63 in 1930. Then come Bob Lennon (Nashville, 1954) at 64 and Dick Stuart (Lincoln, 1956) at 66.
Finally, McGwire will be staring down Bob Crues (Amarillo, 1948) and Hauser again (Minneapolis, 1933), both of whom hit 69.
If McGwire catches Crues and Hauser, then--and only then--can he start thinking about Joe Bauman.
Like McGwire, Bauman felt the pressure of his chase. He hit No. 69 with five games left in the season, then hit a dry spell. When he woke up on the morning of a final-day double-header, Bauman was still tied with Hauser and Crues.
In his first at-bat of the double-header, Bauman pulled one down the right-field line to make the record his own.
"It created quite a stir," recalled Bauman, now 76 and still living in Roswell. "I was glad it was over."
Like many of today's sluggers, Bauman received extra money for every home run. But the method of payment was rather unconventional.
"The fans would just poke it in the chicken wire in the fence, and you would go around and pick it up," Bauman said. "I'd make $40, $50, maybe up to $100, sometimes more. The night I broke the record I got $800 or $900."
Backed by that kind of loot, Bauman could do what he really wanted to--get out of baseball. He retired a year and a half after breaking the record so he could work full time at his gas station and tire distributorship. Bauman had been in the Boston Braves organization earlier in his career, but he quit after he was told his salary would be cut by a third.
Bauman has no regrets about missing out on the majors.
"Best thing I ever did," he said. "I went ahead and played baseball, then I made a living."
Unlike some flying objects reportedly seen in Roswell, Bauman's 72 homers have been confirmed. The Minor League Register acknowledges them as a professional baseball record.
Bob Lennon played the part of Sammy Sosa to Bauman's McGwire that year, hitting 64 for Nashville. But that wasn't the highlight of Lennon's playing career. Lennon played 38 games in the majors, including a 3-for-21 stint with the Cubs that included his only major-league home run. Lennon, a Brooklyn native, hit a three-run shot off Sal Maglie at Ebbets Field.
"That's something I dreamed of doing as a little boy," said Lennon, 69, who lives on Long Island. "I grew up dreaming of hitting one in Ebbets Field."
Lennon played that season with an arm injury that would force him to retire. But at least he reached the majors, which is more than Bauman and three other members of the 60-homer club can say. The Baseball Encyclopedia lists a Doc Kennedy and a Snapper Kennedy, but Frosty is nowhere to be found. Guettler never made it to the majors, and neither did Crues.
Lazzeri went on to a standout career with Ruth's Yankees, and Hauser hit 79 homers in his six-year career, including 27 for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1924--second in the American League behind Ruth. Stuart took his powerful stroke to the majors and hit 228 homers over 10 seasons, including 23 for the World Series champion Pirates in 1960 and 42 for the Red Sox in 1963. But alas, "Dr. Strangeglove" was best known for his fielding misadventures. Clabaugh had 14 homerless at-bats for the 1926 Brooklyn Dodgers, and that was it.
But they all left at least a small imprint on the game with their 60-homer seasons. In some cases the imprint was larger than it appears.
In 1955, an Indianapolis outfielder was impressed enough with Lennon's power to ask him how he pulled the ball to right field so well.
"You have to get out in front and pop your wrists," Lennon said.
It's hard to know if the guy took the advice, but he did show some power after that. His name was Roger Maris.

Major Feats By Minor-leaguers
September 07, 1998
By Michael Rosenberg, Tribune Staff Writer.
The media frenzy around Mark McGwire is reaching a crescendo, and it's hard to figure why. All this fuss, and McGwire isn't even close to Joe Bauman's record.
That's not to say McGwire can't catch Bauman. If the St. Louis Cardinals slugger has a hot September, he might surpass Bauman's historic mark of 72 homers. But really, even that would have to go into the record book with some kind of asterisk, for McGwire has 162 games to slug 72, while Bauman did it in just 138 games.
Of course, most of you older fans already knew that, having spent that magical summer of 1954 following Bauman's Roswell (N.M.) Rockets through the Class C Longhorn League.
McGwire may not reach Bauman, but he can continue his climb up the all-time list. Having hit No. 60, he has caught Forrest "Frosty" Kennedy (Plainview, Southwestern League, 1956), Tony Lazzeri (Salt Lake City, Pacific Coast League, 1925) and Babe Ruth (New York, American League, 1927). Then he'll try to pass someone named Roger Maris, also of New York of the American League, who hit 61 in 1961.
After that come the really big boppers: Ken Guettler of Shreveport in 1956 and Moose Clabaugh of Tyler (Texas) in 1926 at 62, followed by Joe Hauser of Baltimore of the International League, who hit 63 in 1930. Then come Bob Lennon (Nashville, 1954) at 64 and Dick Stuart (Lincoln, 1956) at 66.
Finally, McGwire will be staring down Bob Crues (Amarillo, 1948) and Hauser again (Minneapolis, 1933), both of whom hit 69.
If McGwire catches Crues and Hauser, then--and only then--can he start thinking about Joe Bauman.
Like McGwire, Bauman felt the pressure of his chase. He hit No. 69 with five games left in the season, then hit a dry spell. When he woke up on the morning of a final-day double-header, Bauman was still tied with Hauser and Crues.
In his first at-bat of the double-header, Bauman pulled one down the right-field line to make the record his own.
"It created quite a stir," recalled Bauman, now 76 and still living in Roswell. "I was glad it was over."
Like many of today's sluggers, Bauman received extra money for every home run. But the method of payment was rather unconventional.
"The fans would just poke it in the chicken wire in the fence, and you would go around and pick it up," Bauman said. "I'd make $40, $50, maybe up to $100, sometimes more. The night I broke the record I got $800 or $900."
Backed by that kind of loot, Bauman could do what he really wanted to--get out of baseball. He retired a year and a half after breaking the record so he could work full time at his gas station and tire distributorship. Bauman had been in the Boston Braves organization earlier in his career, but he quit after he was told his salary would be cut by a third.
Bauman has no regrets about missing out on the majors.
"Best thing I ever did," he said. "I went ahead and played baseball, then I made a living."
Unlike some flying objects reportedly seen in Roswell, Bauman's 72 homers have been confirmed. The Minor League Register acknowledges them as a professional baseball record.

MARTIN D. HOKE 1955 - 2011
Martin hoke was the husben of my sister La Nona Hoke. La Nona was the only daughter of 60 Homers Club member Forrest (Frosty) Kennedy. She and Martin had two sons, Danny and David.
Below is what is happing from their Church in Anaheim, CA.
Go to the end to read the moving tribute to his dad by Daniel Hoke.
First Congregational Church of Anaheim Special Edition E-News for July 24th
http://www.fcca.org/
It is our very sad task to report that Martin Hoke passed away this afternoon at St. Jude Hospital surrounded by loving friends and family, his wife LaNona and sons, David and Daniel.
If you wish to help at this time with cooked, prepared meals for the family, please call the church office 714-776-0960 and leave this message: your name, phone number and day available. Service to Members will organize a meal delivery schedule, thank you.
Blest be the Lord, the God of mercy, the God who saves. I shall not fear the dark of night. Nor the arrow that flies by day. I need not shrink before the terrors of the night, nor stand alone before the light of day. No harm shall come to me, no arrow strike me down, no evil settle in my soul. (From Psalm 91 )
God Bless,
Maria and Patrick Doyle

Dear FCCA Congregation,
Thank you for your outpouring of response to the passing of Martin Hoke last Sunday. We do not have information on services yet and many of you have asked “How can I help?” so here is the information:
Service to Members is organizing meal delivery every other day (if possible) starting Wednesday of this week. There are no restrictions on types of food- just enough for 4 people. Daniel Hoke needs a phone call when someone is coming over so he can make sure to be home, so call (714) 930-6072 before you come by, and because of his work schedule, he needs it dropped off at 6:00 pm or later. The home address is: 632 Bridgeport Circle, Fullerton 92833
If I anyone needs transportation call me and I will make arrangements, (714) 458-7038
Penny Schibsted has volunteered for this Wednesday July 27 and I will deliver her food for her. So that leaves the following dates available:
Friday July 29, Sunday July 31, Tuesday August 2, Thursday August 4, Saturday August 6, Monday August 8, Wednesday August 10, Friday August 12 and Sunday August 14

PS. Daniel Hoke posted this moving tribute to his dad... “My Dad” by Daniel Hoke on Sunday, July 24, 2011 at 6:05 pm Time sometimes goes out the window with the wind. When something picks up, you lose track of what’s really going on. The last 56 hours of my life have been full of emotion. There was panic, promise, and pain. There was sorrow, stability, and support. My father was experiencing extreme body discomfort. He became weak, cold, and pale. Without waiting, my Mom called for help. When paramedics arrived, my dad had a seizure and they quickly attended him. I arrived home to find they were loading my dad into the back of the ambulance. He wasn’t conscious but was breathing on his own. It looked like he was just taking a nap. Minutes after leaving my house, his body went into shock and cardiac arrest. It was a massive heart attack that caused his heart to stop immediately. CPR was issued for a reported 30 minutes. During that time, he was shocked 4 times in an attempt to revive him. They finally got a pulse but did not have any idea how long his body was out of air. He was placed in the ICU at St. Jude Medical center, only a 3 minute ride from my house.
There was more bad news than good news coming out of the situation. People all around began to pray for both my family and my father. After a long hard fight with life my mother, brother, and me knew what we needed to do. Watching my father lay there and letting a machine keep him going was getting harder and harder every hour that went by. My dad would have kicked me in the ass if he saw what was happening to him. We got loved ones close by, and at 2:33 this afternoon, we let my father go see his Father. It was the most pain-filled and stressful decisions we have ever made as a family and I pray we never go through it again. I have no doubt in my mind where my dad is right now.
He’s having dinner for the first time with Jesus himself. I personally will never forget my father. The lessons he taught me, the times where I needed him, the moments he cherished. There is a huge void in the family as of right now. I will never reach the stature of my Father, but every day I will strive to be more like him and do everything I can to get my family through this. With the support of friends, family, and the loving grace of God, we will be okay. My dad was an amazing pal, friend, neighbor, husband, mentor and father. I will always love you daddy. We will miss you like crazy but we know your still holding us in your hands. Never leave our side and were counting down the days till we see you again. I love you dad. You will be missed more than words can describe

PHR'S ARE DROPPING FAST. ONLY 4 PLAYERS ON TRACK TO HIT 60 HOMERS THIS YEAR. ONLY ONE MLB PLAYER ON TRACK TO HIT 60 HR'S. Home run totals are veary low this year. Every year we have one or two players with PHR's of 60 or more at the All-Star break, but this year it looks like we may wash-out before 25% of the season is played. Look for this to be one of the lowest home run totals in a very long time.
