The Junior Baseball Association pays their own way with fundraisers that keep the youth program strong. That is very nominal. Junior Baseball supplies the uniforms for the players through sponsors. We buy most of the equipment but we have not bought bats since each kid seems to have their own now. The Junior Baseball Association has also made improvements to North Park by purchasing items to help the field.
Future plans are to build some new batting cages outside.
Plus, we feel that a lot of the teams that we play in tournaments have been playing baseball since January. We will work very close with the City in the future. So, as you can see, the Junior Baseball Association is a group that gives, rather than only takes in keeping a New Ulm tradition strong. Brad Stromdahl, a catcher who played baseball last year for the Marshall A's, has signed a contract with Canton, Ohio in a Class A Independent League. That means that Marshall has lost two good players in Stromdahl and pitcher Chris Pack, who teaches and coaches in Hayfield.
