2003

Jim Merila of Kingston
Jim pitcher for 17 years. Was regarded as the Kingston pitching staff in helping Kingston win three league titles and one region title. Teammates and opposing players had the highest regard for Jim as a player and as a person.

Paul Klapprich of Loretto
Paul was Loretto’s first baseman for 23 years. Paul hit over .300 every year with many years he hit over .400. Paul was excellent fielder at first base and was known for his “gift of gab” to opposing players who made it to first. Paul was always working with the younger players on the team to make them better ball players.

Steve Brower of Monticello
A center fielder for 21 years, who covered the outfield like a glove and was a deadly hitter hitting over .300 every year he played, along with many .400 and .500 batting averages. During his playing days Steve was one of the toughest outs in the league.

Robert Zeller of Waverly
An excellent third baseman, who hit for a high average every “Zip” year. The debate has been, did Zip win more games with his bat or his excellent fielding abilities? Zip was highly respected by both his teammates and opposing players.

2004

John Wilkens of St Michael
John was a catcher for 23 years. Always a .300 hitter John also displayed great home run power and was a great RBI player. After his playing days, John managed and served as a league officer and regional commissioner, giving back to baseball what baseball had given to him.

Frank Muckenhirn of Delano
Frank was a starting pitcher for the A’s, but he also hit for a high average, batting over .300 most of his career. After his playing days were done, Frank became very involved in coaching youth baseball and work many hours behind the scenes at the ballpark.

Daryl Hennen of Maple Lake
Daryl helped bring baseball back to Maple Lake after a ten-year absent. Under Daryl leadership the Maple Lake ballpark was updated which lead to Maple Lake hosting two state tournaments, which Daryl was a co-chair both times. Daryl was the type of person who new no enemies but many friends.

Kelly Weber of Elk River
Kelly was an excellent pitcher but as a player he could play any position his team needed him to, which proved that Kelly was the ultimate team players. In the last seven years of his playing career Kelly also managed and was the business manager. Even with all these extra tasks Kelly’s playing ability never diminish.
