A voice from my past.
Forrest,
I did a google search on Frosty to see if there was anything posted on him.
My dad and I were talking about baseball and his name came up.
I was saddened to hear of Frosty's passing in 1998. My Dad and he played semi-pro
baseball together in So. California and they both played on the Plainview Ponies
but at different times. I think about a year or two apart. My family and his
used to go camping and horseback riding together and we'd visit his family
on Sunday afternoons a few times a year. I knew Eddie and also Nona before
she became ill. I also got to see her again years later after she came out of
her coma. So glad to here she celebrated her 25th, probably much more by now
judging by the date of the posting you had on Google. My mom was and still is
good friends with Jan. I hope she's still doing well.
I was at Cooperstown a few years ago and made a point of finding the listing
of Frosty and his 60 homers at the Hall of Fame. It was really cool to see someone
I knew that at least had his name mentioned there. I'm a big baseball fan. I also
got to see him play a few games in semi-pro when my dad and him played together.
I hope you're able to get this.
Both my parents are still around, in 2010 they celebrated their 60th Anniversary
in So. California.
Take care, Andy Forsyth, Crofton, Maryland.

Baseball great Frosty Kennedy played with Plainview Ponies

Baseball great Frosty Kennedy played with Plainview Ponies DOUG McDONOUGH
Herald Editor Plainview Herald
Without a lick of modesty, Forrest Kennedy always considered himself the greatest professional baseball player in the history of the sport.
And “Frosty” Kennedy considered his best season to be 1956, when he hammered 60 home runs and drove in an astounding 184 runs while playing for the Plainview Ponies in the Class D Southwestern League.
In recognition of that historic feat, Kennedy is part of a display at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Kennedy, who died June 5, 1998, at the age of 72, looked back at his baseball career for a feature in the Herald on Aug. 25, 1985. Then-Editor Danny Andrews updated that story in 1992, when then-66-year-old Kennedy was operating a BMX bicycle track in Covina, Calif. Although retired, he was still living in Covina when he died six years later.
“I think I’m the greatest ballplayer ever,” he told Andrews in a telephone interview in 1985. “Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs, but never batted over .400. Ted Williams and a lot of other guys batted over .400, but never hit 60 homers. I did both.”
Pointing out that fact, Kennedy told Andrews that the personalized plates on his car read “60 HOMERS.”
A retiree from Douglass Aircraft and a lifelong fan, Kennedy in his later years held the firm conviction that half of the modern major league ballplayers couldn’t have played for the Plainview Ponies and other semi-pro and minor league teams during the 1940s and 1950s.
“It’s true, the kids don’t have the experience,” he told Andrews. “They play college ball and maybe spend a year or two in the minors, and they move up to the big leagues. There are only six guys hitting over .300 in each league.
“(Yankees great) Reggie Jackson couldn’t have played on my ball club. They just don’t have players now like Musial, Williams and DiMaggio. A guy is hitting .250 and they think he’s having a helluva year,” he said.
While he hit 60 homers for Plainview, Kennedy was quoted as claiming that he could have hit 120 homers if he had played in a well-lighted modern park.
“We only had five pitchers on the staff and they were paid to go nine innings,” Kennedy explained. “Now they think a guy’s great if he goes five.”
A first baseman, according to Baseball-Reference.com, Kennedy played for a dozen teams during his 11-year career.
Kennedy said one reason he never made it to the major leagues despite a career .342 batting average with 228 home runs, 1,083 runs batted in and 1,572 hits, was “there were too many players. In those days, the Dodgers had more players in the farm system than there are in the entire minor leagues now.”
Signed for $200 per month by former Dodger catcher Babe Hermann, as a 21-year-old he played one game in the 1947 season for Riverside, Calif., recording a hit in his single appearance at the plate. The next two years at Riverside he hit .331 and .411. In 1950, Kennedy played for three teams, Pensacola, Fla., Atlanta, Ga., and Hartford, Conn., during an injury-plagued year, playing a total of 48 games with a combined batting average of .320.
He hit .307 with Miami Beach in 1951; .339 with 25 homers at Lamesa in 1952; a league-leading .410 including a 40-game hitting streak, 225 hits, 38 home runs and 169 RBI for Plainview in 1953; played briefly for Oklahoma City and Burlington, Iowa, before hitting .372 with 35 homers and 120 RBI in 112 games for Amarillo in 1954; hit .301 with 30 homers and 122 RBI with Yuma, Ariz., in 1955; .327 with 60 homers and 184 RBI in Plainview in 1956; and finished his career in 1957 playing for Boise, Idaho, (19 games with 15 hits and one homer) and Savannah, Ga., (34 games with 28 hits and six honors).
“Grover Seitz (the Pampa manager who was to have managed the Ponies in 1957, but died in a car crash in the off-season) wanted me to come back and play, but in 1957 I signed with Savannah in the Cincinnati organization and got a new car as a bonus. I had a hernia operation and they sold me to Jacksonville, and I wound up with Boise in the Pioneer League.”
After retiring as a player, Kennedy went on to coach American Legion youth baseball for eight years.
Kennedy recalled that he and second baseman Don Stokes were sold to Oklahoma City, an AA team, after the Lamesa franchise was moved to Plainview at the start of the 1953 season, and that’s how he wound up in Plainview. He hit a league-leading .410 that season, and spent the next two seasons playing for Amarillo, Burlington, Oklahoma City and Yuma, before coming back to Plainview for his historic 1956 season.
According to Baseball-Reference.com, Kennedy pitched in only three games. He pitched in two games for Amarillo in the 1954 season and once in 1956 for Plainview. None of those assignments carried enough innings to register a win-loss decision.
According to Andrews, Kennedy was a colorful character with a proverbial chaw of tobacco, muscular build and sleeveless, tobacco-stained uniform.
As the 1956 season wound down, Plainview was well out of the Class C pennant race. The locally-owned Ponies, who did not have a working agreement with a major league team, were 75-69 and finished 17 games behind Hobbs. Also in the league were El Paso, Pampa, San Angelo, Ballinger, Carlsbad, Midland, Roswell and Clovis.
But Kennedy was flirting with history, gunning for 60 homers. Babe Ruth set the major league record in 1927 for the Yankees. Joe Baumann held the overall record with 72 homers while playing for Roswell in 1954.
Kennedy had 59 homers going into the final three games in 1956 at San Angelo. Many of those round-trippers were hit in Plainview’s Jaycee Park where it was only 348 feet to the center field fence.
A rainout in San Angelo forced a pair of 7-inning games in a double-header the next night, depriving Kennedy of at least two at-bats.
“The San Angelo catcher was calling the pitches for me, trying to help me get the 60th homer,” but Kennedy went 1-for-8 with nothing out of the park. “I was trying too hard and I finally told him, ‘Hey, you’re not helping me, you’re hurting me.’ I didn’t want to know what was coming.”
But the next night, the last of the season, Kennedy hit a long solo homer in the third off Jorge Lopez. Umpire Al Martin ruled it fair as it soared right at the foul line.
Kennedy said one of his most memorable homers came in 1953 when he hit one off Red Dial of Clovis in the 13th inning of a playoff game at Jaycee Park. Kennedy collected $290 in bills that fans stuck through the fence behind home plate.
Decades later, Kennedy had fond memories of Plainview, saying it was his favorite baseball city and had the best fans. It also was “the only town I ever played in where you were ‘sanded out’ because the sand blew so hard you couldn’t see the lights.”

I was gone for a two week stay in the hospital. I come back and find that the PHRs have come way down. No player is on track to 50 homers this year, even 45 homers may not happen. The one bright spot is Mark Trumbo of my home town team the Angles is on a toroid pace and may soon take over the top spot.

Don't look now but sizzlin hot J. Bautista of Torronto has about taken over the leader board. This Three-Pete hopeful is only two off the MLB lead for the home run title. He has won it the last two years and was my pre-season favorit to win the HR title in 2012. If he wins this year that would be three years a U.S. team has NOT won the HR title.

Early front runner Mat Kemp (12) dropped 7 homers off the leader when placed on the 15 day DL. He is now back in a line up, well see if he can get back into the H.R. title race. A. Pujols (8) and J. Bautista (12) and A. Dunn (16) have had a very hot May. B. Eldred (20) is only MiLB player on track to hit 60 homers. He has already played a few games in the show this year. If they bring him up to stay he may not get the H.R. title this year, this is always a problem when doing well in the minors.

WHO REALLY IS THE H.R. KING?
WHO REALLY IS THE SINGLE SEASON HOME RUN KING?
60 home runs in a single season has happened 18 times by 14 players. If all of them played 162 games the list might look like this.

ADJ. is the adjustment to a 162 game season.
PGA.(per game avg.) X 162 = ADJ.
This chart shows the true comparisons of each of the 60 homers club members. The rankings are based on a 162 game season. I feel that the per game avg. is the better gage. You can see that LaZZeri played in a 205 game league, he hit 60 homers sure, but if he had stopped at 162 games he would only have had 49 or so home runs. Bonds may hold the record of 73 homers in a season but ranks third on the Per game list. Also notice that Sosa hit over 60 homers three times and that Kennedy’s Per Game Avg. was higher than all three of his seasons.
Organized Baseball only tracks leagues that play 140 games or more per season . Most minor leagues play about 144 games and the majors play 162.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gary Carter
Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Carter has new tumors on his brain, his daughter announced Thursday on her website. careingbridge.org/garycarter
Gary Carter was a name I grew up with. In high school we both ran track (high hurdles). I went to Fullerton High and Carter went to Sunny Hills High. One of my high school memories was when we ran against Sunny Hills at Fullerton and I won the race because Carter and David Kingman both went down at the same time and I passed them and won the race. My big claim to fame in high school was beating Carter and Kingman. After high school I followed both of their carriers into MLB. Carter became a bigger name around Fullerton when he got involved with local charities including the Boys and Girls Club of Fullerton.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gary Carter and his family in this trying time.
