We had the honor of showing former Hastings American Legion player Rick Henninger around Duncan Field this weekend. He wanted to see all the changes to the historic ballpark and our new Hall of Fame addition. Rick was back in town for his 60th high school reunion.
Rick pitched for the Texas Rangers and is one of two former Hastings American Legion players to reach the Major Leagues, along with Johnny Hopp. A 2023 Hastings Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, Rick shared a story with us again this weekend: In his first Minor League game, the opposing pitcher was another Hastings legend, Bob Stickels!
