September 2012 Editor:
Mark was an All-American for the Minnesota Gophers in 1993 and 1994, achieving the honor in the latter year after coming back from a seizure, a result of a brain tumor. Mark served as a bullpen catcher for the Padres until the brain tumor returned and caused another grand mal seizure in 2005. He became an assistant to Padres third-base coach Glenn Hoffman and, this year, began scouting for the Padres. In addition to baseball, Mark was an outstanding hockey player at Armstrong High School in Plymouth. Registration is at 8:30 with research presentations beginning at 9:00.

Jeff Bozovsky is a medical billing trainer in Fargo who has combined his loves of historical research and baseball. He is researching the 1897 Red River Valley League and has a blog to chronicle his findings as the project progresses. Entranced by the statistics on the back of baseball cards, Jeff became a baseball fan in the early 1990s and a Cubs fan after a neighborhood friend introduced him to the WGN-televised games. As a kid, Jeff also attended Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks games. His favorite RedHawks player was Chris Coste, who made it to the major leagues when Jeff was a student at North Dakota State University, where Jeff got degrees in history and social studies education. Jeff shares his April 10 birthday with Andre Ethier, Alberto Reyes, Mike Devereaux, Ken Griffey Sr., Lee Lacy, Bob Watson, Frank Lary, Chuck Connors, Ross Youngs, David Halberstam, Roy Hofheinz, Steven Seagal, John Madden, Omar Sharif, Harry Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, Dandy Don Meredith, Jim Bowie, Lew Wallace, Vernon Presley, and Angelo Poffo. Jackson Timm lives in Lindstrom, Minnesota, with his folks, Ron and Ruth, and twin sister, Sophie, and is about to start sixth grade. He saw his first major league game, at the Metrodome, when he was three, and he and his dad take an annual baseball game. Jackson has now been to nine different stadiums to see the Twins. Jackson attended the final regular-season game at the Metrodome and was also there on September 20, 2009 when the Twins, helped by Don Kelly losing a ball in the Metrodome roof, beat Justin Verlander and the Tigers. Jackson likes to play basketball and loves to watch and follow sports. He also plays the piano and drums. Jackson shares his March 27 birthday with Effa Manley, Buster Posey, Michael Cuddyer, Miller Huggins, Tom Quinlan, Dick Ruthven, Wes Covington, Steve Sundra, Johnny Gill, Ed Cushman, Lynn McGlothen, Randall Cunningham, Mariah Carey, Maria Schneider, Quentin Tarantino, Gloria Swanson, and David Janssen. Also new to the Halsey Hall Chapter: Greg Frank.
A soon-to-be-retired Minnesota Department of Health employee recently purchased some scorebooks for a dollar apiece at an estate sale. Two of the books cover the 1960 Minneapolis Millers season, and three contain games from the 1965 Twins. The scoresheet for the September 14, 1965 Kansas City at Minnesota game has an autograph of Satchel Paige. Paige had just signed a contract with the Athletics and was in uniform with them for the first time. Athletics owner Charles Finley staged a Satchel Paige Appreciation Night September 25, when Paige pitched his only game of the season. His rest of the time with the Athletics in the bullpen, starting with the one at Met Stadium in the series against the Twins. The scorebooks contained other autographs, including those of Boog Powell and Jackie Robinson, prompting the Health Department employee to wish she had bought more of the scorebooks.
