New Ulm HALL OF FAME Member

Wenzel (Red) Wiesner

Non-Player (Director)

Selected 1995

          Long and meritorious service to New Ulm baseball resulted in the nomination of Wenzel (Red) Wiesner to the New Ulm Baseball Hall of Fame.

          Wiesner served two terms on the board of the New Ulm Baseball Association, a total of 12 1/2 years. He first served from 1959-1968, a span which included seven years as treasurer. He later served a year and half stint on the board from 1988-1990.

          Besides his treasurer's duties, Wiesner was virtually the designated Tomahawk League representative either as an alternate or as the league officer, and Weisner served as the president, vice president, and secretary of the Tomahawk League at different times throughout his involvement with amateur baseball.

          A more-than-willing worker, Wiesner always could be counted on to complete any tasks assigned to him.
