⚾ Stop #25 on the Historic Hot Springs Baseball

⚾ Stop #25 on the Historic Hot Springs Baseball Trail is dedicated to Hall of Famer Al Simmons! 📍 Find Al Simmons plaque next to Stan Musial's plaque, outside St. Mary of the Springs Catholic Church. #HomeRunHotSprings

Al Simmons recorded 11 consecutive seasons as a .300 hitter and 100-RBI, but did you know that Al Simmons might not have made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame without Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas?

During the 1928 season Simmons missed the first 27 games of the season due to his rheumatoid arthritis in both his ankles. It was a condition which threatened to prematurely end his career at the age of 26 before he discovered Hot Springs. Simmons took the thermal baths and hiked the mountain trails of Hot Springs while training for the 1929 season. As a result, Simmons played in 143 games in 1929, batted .365, slugged 34 home runs, drove 157 runs, and lead the Philadelphia A's to a victory in the World Series.

When young Stan Musial joined the St. Louis Cardinals late in the 1941 season, Al Simmons was still hanging around the league as a part-time player. In 1945 when "Stan the Man's" fortunes skyrocketed, Simmons was the third base coach for the Phillies. During that time the veteran Al Simmons bonded with the young superstar. Both men were Polish-American Catholics that had a lot in common. Simmons encouraged the younger Musial to stay in the line-up everyday and to play every game to the hilt. One of Al Simmons greatest regrets was that he ended his Hall of Fame career 73 hits short of the 3,000 hit club. After retiring he often berated himself for missing so many games due to injury - a mistake he didn't want the young Stan Musial to repeat, and Stan Musial took Simmons advice.

⚾ Baseball fans will get a grand slam homer in A

⚾ Baseball fans will get a grand slam homer in August 2025, when the 8th Hot Springs Baseball Weekend and the Babe Ruth World Series coincide in Hot Springs, the city known as The Birthplace of Major League Baseball Spring Training!

“Some of the greatest former players in the game and the best of the young players will be in Hot Springs at the same time,” Visit Hot Springs CEO Steve Arrison said.

“Fans will get to interact with legends like crowd favorite Johnny Bench and newcomers Ron Guidry, Bret Saberhagen and Steve Garvey and at the same time have the opportunity to watch the best 14-year-old players in the world compete at our great Majestic Park complex, where The Babe himself once played and practiced.”

The Babe Ruth World Series for 14-year-olds will take place August 7 – 16, while Hot Springs Baseball Weekend will bring legends of the game to town August 8 – 9.

“The 2025 Baseball Weekend will feature six great stars: Ron Guidry, Bret Saberhagen, Hall of Famer Johnny Bench, Hall of Famer Goose Gossage, Al Hrabosky and Steve Garvey, who is on the 2024 ballot for induction into the Hall of Fame,” Arrison said.

“The whole Baseball Weekend of baseball fun is free and open to the public, and we expect that 2024’s great turnout will be exceeded.”

“Our city will host 18 teams from around the United States and some international teams,” Majestic Park General Manager Derek Phillips said. “These young athletes and their support personnel — and lots of their fans — will be in Hot Springs for 10 days of top-level baseball competition August 7 through August 16.

📅 Save the date and join us for Hot Springs Baseball Weekend and the Babe Ruth World Series in Hot Springs, Arkansas!

⚾ Stan "The Man" Musial was no stranger to Hot Springs, although he never played a game here he visited often to enjoy all that the Spa City had to offer, earning him spot #24 on the Historic Hot Springs Baseball Trail! 📍 Find plaque #24 beside St. Mary of the Springs Catholic Church, across from the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts, 101 Whittington Avenue. #HomeRunHotSprings

After the 1950 season Stan and his good friend Yogi Berra, a St. Louis native, came to the city for some winter conditioning and relaxation. He returned many times to hunt and fish with his friend, Hot Springs resident and ex-major league pitcher and umpire, Lon Warneke. Some of the most fun times Stan had in Hot Springs were when he would come down with Cardinal owner Gussie Busch. They would ride down on Busch's private railroad car for the race meet at Oaklawn and Bring the Anheuser Busch Bowling team with them. The group would attend the races and spend each evening at a different bowling alley putting on an exhibition while the patrons enjoyed free cold beer! Later in life Stan Musial would return every year to attend the races and would without fail on every trip, grab his harmonica out of the pocket of his red coat and play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Stan Musial was a devout Catholic and Polish-American, just like his friend and fellow Hall of Famer Al Simmons, attending Mass every day. Stan Musial would walk from his hotel, the Majestic Hotel, across the street to St. Mary of the Springs Catholic Church, which sits in the same location as it has since 1887.

⚾ The Majestic Hotel once stood at the end of Central Avenue in downtown Hot Springs and was a popular spot for baseball players during MLB Spring Training. 📍 Find plaque #23 on the sidewalk in front of the former site of the Majestic Hotel, 101 Park Avenue. #HomeRunHotSprings

Built in 1902, the first portion of the Majestic Hotel property was four stories tall with each floor opening out on the mountainside - 65 of the rooms even had private bathrooms! The Majestic Hotel offered a luxurious stay with therapeutic baths on site that appealed to baseball players when off the field. Baseball teams frequented the opulent hotel and loved its convenient location to the streetcar lines at the Whittington and Park Avenue junction.

The 1918 Boston Red Sox were staying at The Majestic Hotel when five of their players had an altercation with a Hot Springs taxi driver. After a day at the races, Red Sox players Harry Hooper, Babe Ruth, Everett Scott, Joe Bush, and Wally Schang were riding back to the Majestic Hotel when the taxi driver decided he had driven them far enough and ordered them out of his cab so he could return to Oaklawn for another fare. The players appealed to a policeman who ordered the driver to take them all the way to the Majestic Hotel. The driver threatened "I will tip you all out first. I have half a mind to dump the machine." He allegedly zipped down Central Avenue at 50mph until Harry Hooper demanded he would give him "the finest punch to the nose ever torn off" which made the taxi driver change his tune. In 2014 The Majestic Hotel caught fire, and in 2016 the rest of the hotel was razed.

⚾ The first edition of the Arlington Hotel opene

⚾ The first edition of the Arlington Hotel opened in 1875 and immediately became a favorite hangout for baseball players, making it stop #22 on the Hot Springs Baseball Trail! 📍 Find plaque #22 outside the front of the Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa on Central Avenue. #HomeRunHotSprings

The first edition of the Arlington Hotel was a wood framed building situated on the US Government owned Hot Springs Reservation. In 1892, the Arlington was rebuilt at the same locaton as a red brick structure but it was gutted by fire in 1923. The current Arlington, located across the street from the original, celebrated its grand opening on New Year's Eve 1924. Several baseball greats that enjoyed the Arlington Hotel's fine hospitality included Babe Ruth, Lefty Grove, Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, and Joe Dimaggio.

On May 31, 1896 the Sunday Herald, a Boston newspaper, reported a funny story about the originator of the hit-and-run play, Hall of Famer Mike "King" Kelly, told by fellow Hall of Famer Jake Beckley. "I have seen Mike Kelly make many a funny break, but the funniest thing he ever did came off at the Arlington Bar in Hot Springs. He and Ed Williamson were discussing a yarn about an actress that took a bath in a tub half filled with champagne that cost a wealthy friend $500. I guess I'll pay $25 for washing my hands and face," Kelly said. He then walked over to a large bowl of claret punch resting on the bar and floated his face and hands in it. The bartender charged him $30 for the wash and Kel paid it like the dead game sport he was!
