My dad used to take me to spring training games in Palm Springs during the early 70s. Palm Springs is in a desert, but it's surrounded by huge mountains. The highest peak, San Jacinto is about 10,000 feet high and often covered with snow.

There are a number of Topps cards with the same mountains in the background going back as far as 1962 ... by the way, if Rod's picture was taken in the Alps, why is he wearing home uniform? (just joking ...)
