This is the first web page I’ve done for myself. It’s all about me, which seems like a pretty egotistical thing to do; however, it looks like this is how everyone else does a personal web page, so, being such a conformist, I thought I’d follow a similar pattern. Actually, I’m not a conformist (just the opposite), but I am kind of egotistical. Professional I work for the Minnesota Department of Health. I’d put a link to a resume except that I’m not job hunting. I really like working where I do. I started there in January 4, 1993, so I’m now accruing eight-and-a-half hours of annual leave per pay period. One of these days, I’ll have enough vacation time that I’ll never have to show up. When I am there, I like it. The work is fun and interesting and the people are good to work with. I’m a Health Educator for the drinking water program. I conduct training and do public affairs work, which includes writing brochures and newsletters and dealing with the media. One of my bosses calls me the “paid flak.“ He means it as a compliment and often reminds me that it’s better than being an unpaid flak. [Note: I retired January 6, 2026 after 33 years.] Besides working a regular job, I write and do public speaking in my spare time. Click here for a list of my books and a partial list of publications . My first book, published in 1988 by Nodin Press of Minneapolis, was On to Nicollet: The Glory and Fame of the Minneapolis Millers, about the minor-league baseball team that played in Minneapolis prior to the arrival of the Minnesota Twins. The Millers had a rich history, extending back to the 1880s. Many members of the Baseball Hall of Fame once played for the Millers. The list includes Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, and Rube Waddell. The Millers spent most of their seasons in cozy little Nicollet Park in south Minneapolis before moving to a new stadium in suburban Bloomington that later became the first home of the Twins. Click here for my web page on the Minneapolis Millers. In 1989, Nodin Press published my book on the history of the Lakers basketball team. The book focuses mainly on the team’s years in Minneapolis, when they won six league titles (including five in the National Basketball Association and the Basketball Association of America, the predecessor to the NBA) in their first seven years. George Mikan was the leader of the team. Click here for my web page on the Minneapolis Lakers. My third book was Holy Cow! The Life and Times of Halsey Hall, a biography of a Minnesota sportscasting legend and the first man to use the term “Holy Cow!” on a baseball broadcast. In the mid-1990s, I was the collaborator on a pair of autobiographies of Minnesota sportscasters: Ray Christensen, the longtime voice of Minnesota Gophers football and basketball, and Herb Carneal, who has done the play-by-play announcing for the Minnesota Twins since 1962. Land of the Giants: New York’s Polo Grounds came out in the fall of 2000. The Polo Grounds—which was used by several baseball teams, most notably the New York Giants—was torn down in 1964. I never saw a game there, but I’ve always been fascinated by the stadium, mainly because of its strange dimensions. It had incredibly short distances down the foul lines and incredibly long distances to the power alleys and to center field. I began researching the book in 1997. In 1999, Temple University Press agreed to publish it. More recently, I’ve been working on some books for Minnesota Historical Society Press. Six Feet Under: A Graveyard Guide to Minnesota came out in October of 2004. Baseball in Minnesota: A Definitive History came out in the spring of 2006, and Minnesota Hoops: Basketball in the North Star State , which I co-authored with Marc Hugunin, came out in the fall of 2006. I’ve won a few awards for my books and research. In 1988, I received a baseball research award jointly sponsored by Macmillan Publishing Company and the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) for the research that I did for On to Nicollet. Holy Cow! The Life and Times of Halsey Hall was named the Best Regional Book of 1991 at the Midwest Book Achievement Awards. Both On to Nicollet and Holy Cow! were finalists in the Minnesota Book Awards in 1988 and 1991, respectively. A speech/slide presentation I made on the Polo Grounds at the 1998 SABR convention was voted as the convention’s best research presentation. I’ve done a number of books for young readers. One is a science book which I co-authored with my now-wife, Brenda Himrich (that’s her, along with me and our cat, i",
