Kellogg's Cards of Players Born in Mississippi

There have only been five players born in Mississippi to get onto a Kellogg's card.  They seem to be mostly similar ages so I'm going to check and see if they crossed paths at some point before the big leagues.

George Scott was born in 1944.  He attended high school in Mississippi.

Bill Melton was born in 1945.  He attended high school in California.

Frank White was born in 1950.  He grew up in Kansas City, MO near the site where the stadium was located - the team was the K.C. Athletics.  His high school isn't listed on baseball-reference.com because he didn't play baseball in high school.

Dave Parker was born in 1951.  He attended high school in Ohio.

Chet Lemon was born in 1955.  He attended high school in California.



Three of them (White, Parker, Lemon) appeared in the 1981 set.

Parker and White made their debuts in 1973 one month apart.  Lemon and White played their last game in the same week of 1990.
