When illness threatened to end his Hall of Fame career prematurely in 1928, Al Simmons came to Hot Springs to take the baths and hike in the mountain trails. The visit worked wonders, and, encouraged by legendary Athletics' manager Connie Mack, "Bucketfoot Al" returned many times. On March 15, 1931 playing for the Minneapolis Millers against the Milwaukee Brewers Simmons launched three home runs at Whittington Park.
