          Multi-talented Doug Palmer started his New Ulm baseball career with the Kaiserhoff following his junior year in high school in 1978. A dedicated and hard-working player, he was an excellent and steady second baseman who compiled a .330 career batting average.

          In addition to his daily steadiness, Palmer always stepped forward at playoff time to make a big play in the field or with the bat. The sight of Palmer crossing home plate with the winning run for the 1980 state title will always be remembered by Kaiserhoff fans.

          Palmer was named to the all-tournament team, as he batted .416 and had five hits in a game against Maple Lake. He also hit a key home run in the win over Chaska.

          In that 1980 season, Palmer also sported a 6-0 pitching record and was 11-3 over-all with a career ERA of 2.60.

          Palmer hit two triples 6-13-82 against Fairfax.

          At Cathedral, he hit .389 in 193 at-bats and finished .353 in 249 plate appearances for the Legion. He was 17-1 pitching in high school and 16-4 in Legion.

          Palmer played varsity baseball at Creighton University for four years and reached the AA level with the Twins and AAA with Boston before being released following the 1988 season. He now is on the staff of the Doyle Baseball School in Florida.
