FORREST "FROSTY" KENNEDY
Born: March 20, 1926, Los Angeles
Resides: Covina
Batted: Right, Threw: Right.
Height: 5' 11", Weight: 190 pounds.
Kennedy is one of only 14 men in baseball history to hit
60 home runs in a season, and is also one, of only 19 men to have a documented hitting streak of 40 games or longer. He is a charter member of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Minor League Hall of Fame, and his statistics are on display in the Babe Ruth Wing at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
In 10 minor league seasons (1948 to 1957) , Kennedy averaged .342.
Kennedy hit 60 home runs for Plainview (Texas) of the Class B Southwestern League in 1956, accomplishing this feat in only 144 games. He hit .327 that year, with 184 RBIs and 151 runs scored.
He is also one of the few men in baseball history to hit over .400 twice. He hit .411 for Riverside of the class C sunset League in 1949, and .410 for Plainview when that city fielded a team in the West Texas-New Mexico League in 1953.
Kennedy had a 40-game hitting streak for Plainview in 1953, part of a remarkable stretch which saw him hit safely in 95 of his final 100 games that season.
A standout in football and baseball at El Monte Union High School, Kennedy then served in the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1945. Following his honorable discharge, he played for several semi-pro baseball teams in the area, and also starred on the 1946 El Monte American Legion Softball team, which won 33 of 35 games. While playing on a semi-pro team in Ontario in 1947, Kennedy was signed to a pro contract by Pittsburgh Pirates scout Babe Merman.

S. Calif Minor League Parks
The Southern California region is home to several clubs that compete within the California League, a 10-team Class A Advanced circuit.
The quartet of Cal League teams: the Lancaster JetHawks, Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, Inland Empire 66ers and Lake Elsinore Storm are located in close proximity to Los Angeles County, these clubs are surrounded by points of interest that feel worlds removed from the glitz, grime and endless urban sprawl that characterize the City of Angels.
Lancaster JetHawks (Lancaster, Calif.)
Edwards Air Force Base (AP) Located approximately 70 miles north of Los Angeles, the city of Lancaster has more than quadrupled in size since its 1977 incorporation. The reason for this population boom -- the town now has nearly 150,000 residents -- can be best summed up in one word: Aerospace.
Many of Lancaster's residents work within the aerospace industry, as the region is home to Edwards Air Force Base as well as headquarters for both Boeing and Lockheed. So when visiting the area, why not engage in some high-flying adventures (metaphorically speaking, at least)?
The aforementioned Edwards Air Force Base is truly gargantuan, home to over 1,500 military families as well as a wide array of research and testing facilities. Tours, which include stops at the Air Force Flight Center Test Museum and the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, are offered year-round.
Aviation history can be further explored in Palmdale, located just south of Lancaster proper. There, one will find the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark. The open-air facility currently features 14 full-size military aircraft on display, as well as scale models of others. A visit to the Airpark can be coupled with a trip to the paradoxically named Drytown Water Park, home of the dizzying spectacle that is the Devil's Punch Bowl Water Slide.
But some might want to go in another direction, both literally and metaphorically. In that case, head northeast to Boron. Home of the largest borax mine in the world, this windswept town (population 2,000) boasts another aviation attraction in the form of the Colonel Vernon P. Saxon Aerospace Museum. And located right next door is the Twenty Mule Team Museum, dedicated to preserving the history of borax mining. Other fun facts about Boron: "Erin Brockovich" was filmed there, and one of its most notable residents was "Walking" George Swain (a celebrated eccentric who walked everywhere he went and was rumored to sleep in a hole in the desert).
And then there are the JetHawks who play at 13-year-old Clear Channel Stadium. This is one of the most offense-friendly facilities in the league, thanks in no small part to the region's exceedingly windy conditions (in the past, the team has staged "Tumbleweed Tuesdays" promotions, in which the ticket price is determined according to the day's wind speed). The club is entering its second season as a Houston Astros affiliate after a two-year stint with the Boston Red Sox.
RanchoCucamongaQuakes/InlandEmpire 66ers The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and San Bernardino-based Inland Empire 66ers are located within a 20-minute drive of one another, so it hardly seems fair to include one without the other. Whether one visits one or both clubs will, of course, have much to do with scheduling (both yours and theirs). In either case, the southeasterly drive from Lancaster offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.
For located directly south of Lancaster is Angeles National Forest, featuring over 650,000 acres of federally protected land. Described on its Web site as "the backyard playground to the huge metropolitan area of Los Angeles," the forest features nearly limitless hiking, boating and camping possibilities. The San Gabriel Mountains, which serve as a barrier between Los Angeles and the Mojave Desert, are located within this forest preserve as well. The highest peak in the range, topping 10,000 feet, is similar to Don Zimmer in that it is referred to as "Mount Baldy."
In a very similar vein is the 800,000-acre San Bernardino National Forest, located directly east of Angeles National Forest. Opportunities abound, from fishing to picnicking to scenic drives. Nearly an eighth of the forest is comprised of old-growth vegetation, including White Firs and Ponderosa Pines.
As for San Bernardino itself, one of the attractions to be found therein is the aforementioned 66ers (named in honor of historic Route 66, that most iconic of road trip travel routes). Since 1996, the Dodgers affiliate has played at Arrowhead Credit Union Park, a 5,000-seat facility that offers a gorgeous mountain view beyond the outfield fence.
Located a short drive west are the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, so named because the town is located near several fault lines. The natural disaster-theme extends to the name of the stadium (The Epicenter) and mascot (Tremor), but the gameday environment is far from calamitous. The team, which was once partially owned by actor Mark Harmon ("St. Elsewhere"), regularly sits atop the list of Cal League attendance leaders.
Lake Elsinore Storm (Lake Elsinore, Calif.)
When it comes to things that should never mix, skydiving and wine would be at the top of the list. But those are two of the most intriguing attractions in the Lake Elsinore area (home of the Storm, a Padres affiliate).
Located approximately 35 miles south of San Bernardino, Lake Elsinore is home to Skydive Elsinore. Billing itself as the longest-running skydiving operation in the United States, Skydive Elsinore offers tandem skydiving for beginners as well as comprehensive education courses so that one may someday be able to make solo jumps. And it's no coincidence that this area has become a skydiving mecca, as airflow from the nearby mountains keeps jumpers in the air for a longer period of time.
But maybe jumping out of an airplane from 12,500 feet isn't your thing. Maybe you would rather cultivate a nice buzz in a far more relaxing environment. In that case, head south to Temecula Valley Wine Country. The region is home to over two dozen wineries, offering virtually unlimited sampling opportunities. It may be better to leave the driving to someone else in such a situation, something that can be easily arranged by booking a spot on the Grapeline Wine Country Shuttle. Riders on the Grapeline can imbibe without care while cruising through one of the nation's premier viticultural areas.
But make sure to make it back to Lake Elsinore in time for the ballgame. The Storm, who play in the awkward yet awesomely named stadium, The Diamond, have received nationwide recognition for their trendsetting ecological practices as well as irreverent giveaways and theme nights. Waterless urinals and pop culture-influenced mascot skits, all under one roof, as part of the same evening? It's like a dream come true.

PHR STANDINGS AS OF 06/20/2010
MIKE STANTON WITH 21 HOME RUNS AND A PHR OF 57 IS BY FAR THE BEST LONG BALL HITTER PLAYING TODAY. IT IS NOT LOOKING GOOD THAT ANY MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYER WILL HIT, 40 HOMERS THIS YEAR, BUT STANTON IS ON TRACK TO HIT 50 AND IS THE ONLY PLAYER IN ORGANIZED BALL WITH A CHANCE AT HITTING 60. LOOK FOR MIKE TO BE THE ONLY BATTER TO 50 OR MORE HOMERS THIS YEAR, UNLESS THE FLORIDA MARLINS DECIDE TO BRING HIM UP TO PLAY IN THE BIG SHOW.
