The baseball diamond, baseball, crossed bats, and team pennants are a tip-off as to what Paul Lindblad did for a living, although his picture in his New York Yankees uniform is a dead giveaway.

Paul Lindblad played Major League Baseball from 1965 to 1978, primarily as a relief pitcher for the Oakland A's and Texas Rangers, with a stint with the New York Yankees at the end of his career. He rests in peace in the Garden of Angels near the front of Emerald Hills Memorial Park. His final resting place is marked by a black marble headstone, with an upper body shot of him in his Yankees uniform incised into the headstone. A baseball diamond is superimposed upon two baseball bats, and a baseball is in the center of the diamond. Three pennants reflect the three teams for whom he played: The Texas Rangers, the Oakland Athletics, and the New York Yankees. Two banners across the top and bottom of the diamond are a nod to both the man and his family, reading "Your field of Dreams...Our Champion!" His signature is also etched into the headstone, and the inscription reads:
Paul Aaron Lindblad
August 9, 1941
January 1, 2006
There is also a vase on the headstone, removed just for a moment to take better photos, and there were flowers in it, noting that someone is visiting.
Paul Lindblad passed on at the early age of 64 from Alzheimer's complications, and unfortunately, one of his daughters passed on from the same affliction, ten years younger than her father was. There is a granite bench here for both her and her sister (who is still with us as of this posting), with their important dates listed. There is no indication as to whether this is a memorial bench for Cindy (Lindblad) Moore, if she is buried here, or if her ashes have been scattered here.
