George Sim Park in Lemon Hill is a special place for state Assembly member Kevin McCarty. The 52-year-old got his start in politics in 2004 representing the South Sacramento neighborhood on the City Council.
“And as a young council member, one of the first things I did was to help bring back baseball to this neighborhood, which had a thriving Little League for decades that went away for about 20 years,” McCarty explained last month, speaking near the park’s baseball diamond.
After joining the council, McCarty partnered with the San Francisco Giants and their Junior Giants league to restart youth baseball at the park.
