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.' "

Players in the running for HOME RUN TITLE.

MATT KEMP- LAD

Led all players with 23 HR's last year before being sideline with injury's. He only played in 106 games, he had a career high of 39 in 3022, can ge rebound in 2013?

CURTIS GRANDERSON- NYY

Hit a career high of 43 homers last year and hit 41 in 2011, he keeps improving.

ADAM DUNN- CWS

He hit 41 home runs last year and had a career high of 46 in 2004.  In 13 years in MLB Dunn has hit 40 or more home runs 6 times and hit 38 twice. He has 406 career home runs.

EDWIN ENCARNACION- TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Hit a season high of 42 for the Blue Jays last year.

RYAN BRAUN- MIL. BREWERS

He had a career high of 41 HR'S last year.

More to follow, stay tuned.

California's Home Run title continders

The following three players from S. Calif. I think will have a real shot at the title if they stay healthy and get a lot of playing time ( you can't hit homers sitting on the bench.

JOSH HAMILTON- LAA
  Played for Texas last year and hit a season high for himself of 43 home runs.

MATT KEMP- LAD

   Led all players with 23 homers last year before being sideline with injury's, only played in 106 games. Had a career high of 39 homers in 2011.

MARK TRUMBO- LAA

  Won the Pacific Coast League and the MiLB title with a career high 36 homers in 2010. Hit 29 homers in 2011 and 32 homers 2012, both 144 game seasons. Look for Mark to have a very big year in 2013.

Please let me know if you think of any other players that have a real chance of winning the Home Run title this year.
