As a former resident [11 years] of Santa Barbara, I have many great memories.
My son and I "worked out" at the Pershing Park [Forester's Home field] near the famous West beach, Sterns Wharf, harbor and Santa Barbara City College.
Visit the old Mission a real history lesson. My neighbor and great friend was Duncan Renaldo {Cisco Kid - TV Series].
Santa Barbara at one time had a Class A Pro team.
