FROSTY KENNEDY HAD 59 HOMERS GOING INTO THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON IN 1956, HE WENT 1 FOR 4 IN THE FIRST GAME OF A DOUBLE HITTER. IN THE SECOND GAME HE HAD A SO/BB/FLY OUT/SINGLE/ AND HIT HIS 60TH HOMER ON HIS LAST AT BAT OF THE SEASON TO PUT HIM INTO THE RECORD BOOKS OF BEING ONLY THE 10TH PLAYER AT THE TIME TO EVER HIT 60 OR MORE IN A SEASON IN ORG. BASEBALL. HIS STATS ARE ON DISPLAY IN COOPERS TOWN IN THE BABE RUTH WING OF THE HALL OF FAME.
ROGER MARIS SET THE MLB MARK OF 61 IN 1961 TO BECOME THE 11 PLAYER TO DO IT AND THAT RECORD STOOD ABOUT 40 YEARS UNTIL THE JUICE IN THE ARM GANG SHOWED UP AND DID IT FIVE TIMES IN JUST A FEW YEARS. I WAS VERY GLAD TO SEE MLB TAKING THE ACTION IT DID THIS MONTH WITH THE DRUGI ES.

Frosty Kennedy has made a list of baseball greats.
.

Former local player ‘Frosty’ remembered,
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.' "

PHR'S HAVE FALLEN OFF, ONLY TWO PLAYERS HAVE PHR OF 60 OR MORE.
J. Upton still leads all players with a PHR of 66, then comes J. Buck with a 62 PHR. Top two players from MiLB come from the Mexican league: J. Castillo a PHR of 59 and L. Terrero with a PHR of 58.
