             Dennis Sperl played only five seasons of amateur baseball in New Ulm, but he has been involved in local high school, Legion and amateur baseball for almost 50 years.

              Now, if he is not working in the concession stands, he is either doing some other duties for the baseball association or just being a fan in the stands.

            As a high school sophomore, Sperl played in his first amateur baseball game with the Millers and had two hits and three RBIs. The next game, he had three hits.

            Sperl played four years of both high school and Legion baseball plus five years of amateur ball—four with the Millers and one with the Brewers.  He also managed the Brewers for part of the 1992 season.         

            His contributions to amateur baseball after his playing days are lengthy.  He has been on the baseball board since 1989 and has been the charitable gambling manager (pull tab fundraiser at local bars) since his first year on the board.  The money raised through charitable gambling has funded many of the improvements at Johnson Park and Mueller Park over the years.

            Sperl also spends many hours as a board volunteer worker in the concession stands or at board meetings.  He also served on committees for the 1990 state tourney in New Ulm, and he has been active with numerous Legion baseball committees.

            Another of his involvements was helping to start the indoor batting cage in New Ulm.

            When he isn’t involved in New Ulm baseball, Sperl is checking on his favorite pro team, the New York Yankees!
