July 11, 201412 yr Thanks so much for linking to this. It's a fun story and a great read for a Friday.
July 11, 201412 yr Just read this a little while ago. Great article. Pretty sure Caple is from here. He always writes great stuff about Minnesota.
July 11, 201412 yr Really nice job of weaving so many threads of Minnesota's baseball history. And Janet Thielbar is my new hero. She's actually a couple of years younger than me but I can greatly appreciate the opposition she must have faced. Love her dad and coach, too, for believing in her love of the game.
July 11, 201412 yr Just read this a little while ago. Great article. Pretty sure Caple is from here. He always writes great stuff about Minnesota. he is from Washington state, but worked for the Pioneer Press covering the Twins in the 90's.
