Mike Hershberger – 1965 Topps no. 89

The comic on the back of Hershberger’s 1965 Topps baseball card includes a sketch of a player sliding head first into third base with nary a defender in sight. Given that he hit 21 triples in the minors in 1959, I have to believe that he wouldn’t have been sliding into a base unless a play was being made. Mike was traded to the Athletics in January of 1965 with Jim Landis. These cards provide an interesting mini study of the mid-60s baseball card manufacturing process as Hershberger is still shown as being with the White Sox, while Landis is depicted with the Athletics in a later series- though still wearing a White Sox uniform.

Jim Landis – 1965 Topps no.San Angelo boasts several parks for kids across the city, prominent among them Kids Kingdom.

Located along the banks of the Concho River on West River Drive, the park was created in a six-day flurry of activity by volunteers and provides the perfect mix of play area for kids and shaded cover for adults.

This park has a lot going for it, notably its design. When the area was being designed, there was a drive to ensure kids of all developmental abilities could enjoy the park.

The park’s structures have ramps, there is a wheelchair swing and other structures were designed with every child’s mobility needs in mind. The park also includes barbecue grills, horseshoe pits, jogging trails, playground, picnic areas, lighted pavilion and baseball fields.
