Recap of Fall Chapter Meeting
Andrѐ Lanoue was the featured speaker at the November 18 chapter meeting and had such a good time that he joined SABR. Andrѐ was one of 40 people attending, the others being Art “The Torch” Mugalian, Jerry Janzen, Fred Buckland, Joe O’Connell, Roger Godin, Glenn Renick, Howard Luloff, Ed Edmonds, John Buckeye, Dave Lande, Jacob Sayward, Bill Axness, Stew Thornley, Brenda Himrich, Bob Komoroski, Brian Larson, Armand Peterson, Jim Cox, Steve Bratkovich, Daniel Dorff, Rich Arpi, Barry Bengtsson, David Minier, Gene Gomes, Mike Haupert, Sam Sundermeyer, Bob Tholkes, Doug Skipper, Pat Byrnes, Aaron Sinner, Tom Flynn, Al Strauss, Gregg Nelson, Jeff Lenz, Mike Anderson, Dan Levitt, Lloyd Kepple, Fritz Reeker, and Dave Anderson as well as multitudes in the cyberworld as Brenda Himrich handled duties to beam the meeting out on Facebook Live.
During the business meeting, Ed Edmonds was elected to fill the remainder of the term of David Karpinski. The chapter also approved a set of procedures for the new MVP Chapter Committee. A full recap of the meeting is provided by special correspondent John Buckeye:
Sam Sundermeyer started off the presentations by giving us a feel for where the Hall of Fame trajectory of Joe Mauer is headed. With the hometown boy and longtime Twins catcher up for the ballot this next year, the discussion is very pertinent. Sam did a great job of exploring many different angles of the argument, discussing it from a traditional stats perspective as well as one involving advanced analytics.
In most of the traditional, back-of-the-baseball card stats Mauer ranks in the top ten among catchers. And Sam also made sure to make the argument that Mauer should certainly be seen as a catcher for his career. The traditional stats also point out that Mauer is one of only three catchers all-time with two thousand hits as well as an .825 OPS. But to get an even more clear picture of his case, we needed to look at WAR. WAR is arguably the most complete stat when it comes to the value a player provides to his team.
And Joe Mauer sits just outside the top ten catchers all-time in WAR. But career WAR is certainly not the only way to discuss that stat. There are several others, which give less weight to career longevity and more to the peak of your career. How good was a player at his best. Jay Jaffe specifically has one called JAWS, which balances the players career WAR with their seven-year peak. When it comes to this stat and others like it, Mauer fares a lot better.
Sam then went through the similarity scores of our boy. He compared favorably as a hitter to some big and HOF-worthy names as well, such as Scott Rolen and Todd Helton. It was also interesting to hear his analysis of the different paths some eventual inductees have taken to getting enough votes. And so he predicts that Mauer will reach Cooperstown in 2029, about five years down the road. I have to say, I do hope it’s sooner than that.
Stew Thornley gave us another presentation that was very appropriate to what is going on in baseball now. He explored previous efforts to speed up the pace of play.
Some of those efforts date way back to the 1800s and related to the amount of time between pitches. These rules only work, of course, if they are strictly enforced, and as the years went on, both batters and pitchers worked on ways to milk the time between pitches. We looked at some very notable examples of those batters, such as Mike Hargrove, who was known as the Human Rain Delay. Another interesting case was Chuck Knoblauch, who really took his time between pitches, such as during the 1991 World Series.
But by the early 90s baseball was starting to realize that it did have a problem with pace of play. Some argued it was commercials, but the games in the latter half of the eighties were rising in time per batter- and they sometimes even had shorter commercial breaks from previous eras! Nonetheless, clunky efforts by MLB to speed up the game in the 90s were panned by some, such as local columnist Dan Barreiro.
As early as the 60s some organized baseball leagues used pitch clocks, and while the majors supposedly had a set time between pitches, it was rarely enforced. By the ‘00s, MLB had implemented personnel to keep time for games, but they mostly kept track of time between innings—with the players and umps mostly ignoring them.
When the pitch clock was finally imposed this last year, it came on the heels of a report by Grant Brisbee, who found that the length of games was mostly due to the increased time between pitches. This put to rest a study by Dave Smith which seemed to argue that there were just more pitches in games now. But this new pitch clock did require some getting used to, and they needed to train a great number of people to run them during games. Stew, as someone who did run one, found that the umpires and the timers did seem to get into their groove with it as the season progressed.
Glenn Renick gave us a dive into his research on what the connection is between candy companies and baseball cards. Called E cards, they were often of people other than baseball players, such as “girly cards, ” which came in packs of tobacco or bubble gum. Often, we were told, adolescent boys would bribe the men coming out of tobacco shops for the girly cards that had come in their cigarette box. Late in the 19th Century, the girly cards started to be prohibited. And so baseball players began to be the dominant type of feature on these cards.
The first such baseball cards were produced by a company in Lancaster, PA, Lancaster Caramel, when they put them in their packs of caramel. This started a very intense regional competition with the other local candy companies. But why were there so many caramel, chocolate, and other candy companies in the area to begin with?
That traces its roots to the independence movement in the original thirteen colonies. When the Tea Act plummeted tea sales on the continent, demand grew for another hot drink, hot cocoa. This worked out because the cocoa shipments from the Caribbean would mostly come into Philadelphia, as well as the sugar. A trio of men all named Benjamin each independently started candy companies, using processes that were being invented to refine sugar and cocoa. With the creation of the Erie Canal in New York, Pennsylvania, also needed to compete with shipping into the interior of the continent, so there was a big push for railroads in the state. This also allowed cities like Lancaster to start to thrive.
The cities grew, the demand for sweets grew, and the demand for baseball grew. A couple new companies who specialized in chocolate arose in eastern Pennsylvania—Wilber’s and Hershey’s. They sold a competing product, one of them won out in the end. But they would also create cards in their caramel divisions, Hershey’s owning Lancaster Caramel. The caramel companies eventually started producing bubble gum, such as Dubble Bubble and Bazooka.
Eventually the gum companies then started only creating baseball cards, from which sprung the now-household names of Bowman and Topps.
Bookie Larson and Armand Peterson walked us through the hundredth anniversary of the Minnesota State Townball Tournament by talking us through the history of this very unique institution. Since the tournament started, it hasn’t ever been cancelled, despite covering the Covid pandemic in 2020 and the 1946 polio pandemic. Both of those times there were health concessions made, whether it was number of fans allowed in the stadium, or players who made sure they had not been exposed. As far as state institutions, even the State Fair cannot claim to have been held every one of these years.
Given the event’s importance, and how many towns are clamoring to host the tournament each year, the towns who ultimately get to host have done a lot of work to make their stadium really nice. They showed pictures of the host venues of this past year’s tournament, which really drove the point home. The tournament has its roots in the early years of the railroad, when townball teams were formed in each town, and they would challenge the team in the next town down to a game. They follow MLB rules, though have not adopted recent changes such as the zombie runner and the enlarged bases. The league has gone back and forth between wood and aluminum bats, currently using the safer wooden bats.
They walked us through the distribution of teams in each class eligible around the state, and what makes teams eligible for each class. Size of the town matters, of course, but what’s also taken into consideration is a running success points tally, covering the last ten years. And they have had to have special rules adopted, such as when the tournament directors decided that any town that has a single player living inside the freeway loop (including the I-35 splits) of the Twin Cities has to register in the highest class. They also discussed some of the unique ground rules that stadiums around the state have.
This past year St. Paul Air Freight, one of the powerhouses of the state, took home the crown in the highest class. They’ve gone from one class, to then two classes in ‘71, and later added a third class. But then they merged the top two classes again a while later
This tournament is a unique one in the fifty United States, as there’s no other such town ball tournament that exists in any other.
Andrѐ Lanoue, former longtime college umpire, was the guest speaker for our meeting. He grew up in St. Paul and calls it the best baseball town. Certainly it has had some great townball teams, such as Air Freight. As a kid he played and watched a lot of games, but he says he did often focus on the umpires and how they were doing their job. When he found out Tim Tschida, an umpire and guy he really admired, was guesting at an umpire school down in Florida, he jumped at the chance to go there. As he was applying, he got a direct call from Joe Brinkman, the president of the company, who convinced him to make it happen.
It didn’t go that great. But Lanoue did get a connection for when he got back to the Cities in Butch Fischer, who hooked him up with Metro Umpires. He was in that organization a few years, before going to more of the showcase-type scene in the Las Vegas area (that was also day-job related). But when he got back to the Cities again, he started doing college baseball.
In ‘03 he was put on the reserve list for DIII Regionals, but they did not end up needing him and his crew, which he says was definitely for the best. He was ready the next year when he was tabbed to do that same tournament, and he gradually moved his way up. By 2005 and 2006 he was in the DIII College World Series. Five years later, the DII World Series; by 2015 he was working the Division I Regional in the area.
He calls umpiring life-changing and talked about how he actually met his wife through it, as that’s what they were both doing. And it’s the thing he always had the biggest knack for athletically. And from a lot of the stories Andrѐ told us, he got to meet a lot of interesting people—whether he was making calls for them or against them!
Lanoue talked a lot in the Q&A section after he was done running us through the overview of his career, that there were a lot of great games he had umpiring the Gophers, and that he’s thankful they always had the Dome to play in. That it really helped him hone his skills getting that much early-season work. The Gophers head coach was very good, but he did eject him three times in his career. The best pitcher he ever got to see was eventual Yankees prospect Joba Chamberlain. And maybe the best player he ever got to see play was Kyle Schwarber, now-World Series winner and World Baseball Classic hero.
He is NOT a fan of catchers moving the ball when they are catching it, such as back into the strike zone. But he did mention the appeal of an appeal system to challenge umpire ball and strike calls. They already have it in the minors, and it is quick and a fun challenge between the team and the umpire. Working the plate in general, he called “driving through a blizzard” not fun to have to do over and over again. There were a lot of fun stories about teams whose fans were super into it, such as those in Nebraska and Cornhuskers games. Good job, Blue.

Chapter Projects
The Halsey Hall Chapter is working with the state of Minnesota to get a historical marker installed on state property that was once the site of St. Paul’s Downtown Ball Park, also known as the Pillbox. The ball park was used by the St. Paul Saints of the American Association from 1903 to 1909 and by the St. Paul Colored Gophers until 1910. In 1909, the Gophers defeated the Chicago Leland Giants in this ballpark for the “World’s Colored Championship. ” The ballpark is nicknamed because of its small dimensions and was located on 12th Street between Minnesota and Roberts avenues. With a view from southeast to northwest, patrons had the scenic backdrop of the state capitol, its rotunda under construction for some of those years. The chapter has worked in the past to get plaques erected on the sites of Lexington Park in St. Paul and Nicollet Park in Minneapolis. (The Nicollet Park plaque is in storage after the bank on the site burned down a few years ago.)
The chapter is also working with the SABR BioProject to get more biographies about Minnesota Twins. As a starting point, John Gregory and your crusty editor are encouraging chapter members to get involved in the project and consider writing about members of the 1987 and/or 1991 world champion teams. These players from those teams are awaiting a write-up: Paul Abbott, Rick Aguilera, Allan Anderson, Keith Atherton, Willie Banks, Billy Beane, Jeff Bittiger, Jarvis Brown, Randy Bush, Sal Butera, Larry Casian, Carmelo Castillo, Mark Davidson, Tom Edens (an anagram of semen dot), Scott Erickson, George Frazier, Greg Gagne, Dan Gladden, Mark Guthrie, Brian Harper, Joe Klink, Gene Larkin, Scott Leius, Steve Lombardozzi, Shane Mack, Pedro Munoz, Denny Neagle, Al Newman, Joe Niekro, Tom Nieto, Junior Ortiz, Mike Pagliarulo, Chris Pittaro, Mark Portugal, Mark Salas, Dan Schatzeder, Roy Smalley III, Roy Smith, Les Straker, Gary Wayne, Lenny Webster, and David West.
In addition, coaches, executives, and broadcasters could be written, including Dick Bremer, Andy MacPhail, Carl Pohlad, Rick Renick, Terry Ryan, Rick Stelmaszek, Dick Such, and Tom Kelly.
Many chapter members have written for the BioProject and are available for help and mentoring. Check out the BioProject website. Those interested in writing about a person should send a message to bioassign@sabr.org to reserve the player (and make sure that the player has not already been reserved). Those wanting to learn more can write to John, ashburyjohn1@gmail.com, or me, stew@stewthornley.net.
One of the players noted above, Rick Renick, homered in his first time up in the majors. Bill Nowlin and Giselle Stancic are working on a SABR web project to have BioProject entries written on all such players. Besides Renick, Dave McKay, Andre David, Gary Gaetti, Luke Hughes, and Eddie Rosario have achieved the feat. A bio on Gaetti already exists, and one on Rosario won’t be written until he retires. If anyone is interested in writing a bio—along with a Games Project account of the game, contact Bill, Bill.Nowlin@rounder.com.

New Members
Andrѐ Lanoue, our guest speaker at the November 18 chapter meeting, has joined SABR. Also known as “Pee Wee,” a name given to him by Steve Rippley at umpiring school, Andrѐ is from New York but mostly grew up in South St. Paul.
He is married to Crystal Flint, a star on the Gophers and co-captain of the 1994 team, the first to make the NCAA tournament. He has a son, Michael Lanoue, who is 29, and stepsons Marquis Holloman, who played on the North High (Minneapolis) state championship teams in 2016 and 2017, and Tre Holloman, who is a sophomore at Michigan State and who scored a team-high 17 points to go with 5 assists the night after Andrѐ spoke to us.
Andrѐ is the community recreation specialist for adaptive recreation at St. Paul Parks and Recreation. A top college umpire for many years, he has also umpired in four major-league ballparks#151;the Metrodome, Miller Park, Wrigley Field, and Target Field (including at Target Field’s first-ever game, which as between Louisiana Tech and Minnesota March 27, 2010.
As a reporter, he covered Eric Milton’s no-hitter at the Metrodome September 11, 1999 and won LaVelle E. Neal III’s press box pool (in which a number is picked for which batter in the order will get the first hit or if it will be a no-hitter). As a fan, Andre was seen games in 27 current or former major-league parks, 12 minor-league parks, and 6 spring-training parks. His first game was at Met Stadium May 23, 1976 when Bert Blyleven outdueled Paul Splittorff of Kansas City. A couple years later he was in the first row near the first-base dugout when Bobby Grich of the Angels charged Roger Erickson. See if you can find Andrѐ in the video: CAL@MIN: Grich charges mound, benches empty.
Andrѐ was at Nolan Ryan’s 300th win at County Stadium and saw George Brett hit for the cycle at SkyDome.
Born in 1971 (which helps greatly lower our chapter’s median age), Andrѐ shares his July 14 birthday with Steve Stone, Robin Ventura, Happy Chandler, Tim Hudson, Danny Walton, Johnny Murphy, Lucas Giolito, Bernie Castro, Earl Williams, Bob Purkey, Lee Elder, William Hanna, Gerald Ford, Rosey Grier, Jane Lynch, Jerry Rubin, Ingmar Bergman, Woody Guthrie, and France.
New to the Halsey Hall Chapter: Douglas Byers and Gregg Nelson
Our chapter has welcomed 12 new members since June 1, the beginning of the SABR fiscal year reporting period, and has 176 members, including Linus Van Pelt. (Don’t ask me how that got into our chapter roster, but we’re happy to have Linus with us.)
Really really really important stuff! Membership prices will increase for new members starting in 2024 to $25 for students, $30 for young professionals (30 and under), $80 for a standard membership, and $215 for a three-year standard membership. SABR has committed to no dues increase for current members through 2026. However, those who let their membership lapse after January 24, 2024 will have to re-up under the new rates and types. There is a built-in 10-day grace period for renewing at the existing rate, but after that a renewal would be at the new price. So don’t let it lapse!

- This right-hander had a big year in 1969, winning 20 games for his NL team. That year he became the first pitcher to be credited with a save. He was later traded with Frank Robinson to an AL team in the same state. He was later traded with Roy Smalley to the Twins. In 1977 he was the Opening Day starter for the expansion team Blue Jays.
- This brilliant outfielder’s glove was known as “where triples go to die.” After two Series championships in Boston, he led Cleveland to its first World Series Title in 1920.
- This All-Star infielder (3B, 1B, 2B) played 11 years for the Cardinals, leading the league in hits, runs, doubles, assists, and double plays in seasons there before joining the Yankees in 2022. He’s currently with San Diego.
- This Twins infielder came over in 2023 from the NL and hit 11 homers during the season, plus one in the ALDS Game 2 victory vs. Houston.
- He won one World Series as a player in 1981. He’s now heralded for his managing of ten first-place teams, including two pennants and one World Series title. Career as manager: W 2183, L 1862.
- This catcher played mainly for Milwaukee, Kansas City and St. Louis, winning a NLCS MVP and a World Series MVP. He succumbed at the early age of 50 to substance abuse.
- This superb leadoff hitter sparked the Atlanta Braves to their 13-0 start in 1982, and the Division title. He had a coaching career from 1998 to 2015. He racked up 2,375 hits and 558 stolen bases.
- This bearded right-hander suffered the worst year of his career in 2021 with the Twins: an 8.06 ERA. He originally came up to the Angels undrafted, and in 2009 proceeded to set the Angels record for wins by a rookie—16. He has 46 career wins so far in MLB, and played in Japan in 2023.
- A member of the National Women’s Baseball Hall of Fame, this centerfielder debuted in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1944 with the Minneapolis Millerettes. At 5’, 6“ and 145 pounds, she was a fleet baserunner and stole 358 bases in five seasons. She launched two grand slams in 1944, the first AAGPBL player to do so in one season.
