NON-PLAYERS

MIKE FRENCH

French was elected to the New Ulm Baseball Association in 2013 and has served with dedication in putting in many hours in the concession stand as well as behind the scenes.

French did play in 23 games for the Kaiserhoff in two years and had a two-home run game in Glencoe.

BOB “BISCUITS” SCHARF

Scharf served on the NUBA for 13 seasons from 2006 through 2018. And he was one of the most dedicated and hardworking board members in the history of the NUBA.

Scharf spent countless hours working the concession stands at both Johnson and Mueller Parks. He spent many hours ordering and reordering all of the concessions for both parks and would be there at all hours to open the gates for the delivery man. He stocked all of the coolers in both parks when needed.

Scharf’s dedication and loyalty was unsurpassed.
