A. R. (Al) Mueller

Non-Player (Director, Special Support)

Selected 1995

          A.R. (Al) Mueller has had a lifelong interest in the game of baseball. While his selection to the New Ulm Amateur Hall of Fame is based on his service to local amateur baseball, his support also has been freely given to New Ulm High school and Legion ball as well.

          Mueller began his service on the board of New Ulm Baseball Association in 1966.  After a layoff, he returned to the board in 1988 and continues to serve, often selling tickets at the gate at Johnson Park. He has been delegate to the Ara Wilson League since 1948.

          Al is a member of the Hall of Fame committee, and in 1991 he co-chaired New Ulm's bid for the state baseball Hall of Fame museum. Mueller also served as a committee chairman for the 1990 state tournament in New Ulm, is active with New Ulm American Legion baseball, and served as a member of the Johnson Park restoration committee in 1994.

          Mueller came to New Ulm from Arlington, where he played some baseball, including a 1950 regional game against Leavenworth. He and his brothers were considered fixtures at the state amateur tournament each year.

          Mueller continues to stay active in New Ulm baseball.
