MINNEOTA MEMORY

With the Major League Baseball playoffs in full swing, we saw it fitting to show the first Minneota High School baseball team to qualify for the state tournament. The 1958 Vikings' team won the Region 3 title on June 3 and then played in the state tournament at the former Metropolitan Stadium (the site of the current Mall of America) in Bloomington. Minneota finished the season with a 13-3 record. Front row, left to right: Tom Brewers, Dick Lozenski, Dick Wambeke, Jim Lozenski, Don Richards, David Askdal, John Allen. Back row, left to right: Tom Tillemans, Dick Culshaw, John Stalpes, Ron Davidson, Steve Kjorness, LeRoy Curwick, Coach Bob Tadsen.
