Ronald Reinhart

Non-Player (Special Support)

Selected 1998

           Although keeping baseball statistics for two amateur baseball teams may be considered a bothersome job for most people, Ron Reinhart considers it fun and something to look forward to each year.

            Ron began his statistical work in 1961. His aunt and uncle, the late Herb and Mildred McIvor, kept amateur baseball stats from 1939 to 1954, and they passed their information on to Ron. He then began his labor of love by researching the New Ulm Journals for the missing stats from the 1955 to 1960 period to complete the stat collection.

            Statistics aside, Reinhart was recording secretary and was in charge of tracking down all former New Ulm baseball players for the 50^th Johnson Park anniversary in 1989. He was also in charge of booklet information for the 1990 state amateur baseball tournament in New Ulm.

            Ron served as Recording Secretary on the committee that attempted to lure the state amateur baseball Hall of Fame museum to New Ulm. He has served as recording secretary and historian for the New Ulm Amateur baseball Hall of Fame since 1990.

            Ron does special projects for the New Ulm Baseball Association and has drawn up Ara Wilson league baseball schedules. He also has served as recording secretary-historian for the American Legion Hall of Fame committee.
