Subscription Renewals Due July 1 New Member: Herb Schaper His career in sports started in New Ulm when Charles “Lefty” Johnson took Herb into a game in which Johnson was going to pitch. Unable to afford the 10 cents for admission, Herb had been sitting on a curb before getting the assist from Johnson. “Immediately I started chasing foul balls, started selling ice cream bars, keeping scorebooks, junior and senior high school sports editor of newspapers . . . and I was on the way,” Herb says. “Even though I was very young at the time, I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in the great amateur baseball era of the 1940s and 1950s.” Not as fortunately, Herb has been told he looks like Sid Hartman and has even been mistaken for him on a few occasions. Herb is a Bronze Medallion Award winner in national competition for businessman/community volunteer work, and he was recognized by the Minnesota Jaycees as one of the 10 most outstanding young men in the state. Now retired, Herb spends his time on the computer, doing genealogy work, assisting authors and researchers, being “Herbie the Happy Hosta Hustler and Caladium gardener,” researching candidates and assisting in nominations for the Minnesota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame, creating the Minnesota Baseball Greats web site, and doing volunteer work for the Department of Defense. He and his wife, Dorothy, have three sons: Blake, who works for Marco Information Systems in St. Cloud; Blair, who is the track coordinator, girl’s cross-country coach, and teacher at Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee; and Brad, who will be starting as a teacher and coach at Lutheran High School. Born December 18, 1931, Herb shares his birthday with Ty Cobb, Ray Liotta, Betty Grable, Brad Pitt, and Ramsey Clark.
