Swinging For The Fences - Alhambra's Baseball Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner

The city of Alhambra has had more than its share of great athletes but none have been greater than Ralph McPherran Kiner. Known as the “Maulin’ Moor “, Kiner starred at Alhambra High School (1938-1940) as an All-Southern California baseball star and went on to play professional baseball (1946-1955) before being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1975. His career took him into the broadcast booth where he announced major league baseball games for another 52 years (1961-2013).
