Congratulations to Paul Froncak being named one of five with central Minnesota ties being elected to the Minnesota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame. Froncak has been a player, coach, manager, organizer, league officer and radio broadcaster since the 1960s. He was associated with Barney’s Bulldogs and the Lastrup Lakers and eventually became president of the Victory League and then the Region 8C commissioner. Retired from a career with Morrison County Veterans Affairs service office in Little Falls, he does play-by-play for Victory League games throughout the season on Little Falls Radio’s AM960 KLTF. Froncak joins Sobieski’s Butch Hennes who was on the first Sobieski team in 1963, St. Joseph’s Pat Schneider, Elko’s Terry Frederickson and Eden Valleys’ Bob “Birdie” Geislinger. The induction banquet is September 19th in St. Cloud. Tickets are $25, though tickets for children 10 and under are $10. An order form can be downloaded at mnamateurbaseballhof.com/index.asp or by calling Bob Karn, the hall of fame secretary, at 252-8227. Karn said this year’s inductees came from one of the largest pools of candidates in recent memory. Candidates are nominated by persons in their community. A committee looks over the nominations and selects up to five candidates each year. Entrance is not necessarily based on being an outstanding player. Inductees are honored for their long-term commitment and contributions to the game.
