Indies Hall of Fame stuff and things.


The North Dakota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame celebrated the four members they selected for their 2023 inductions on June 10. The four inductees are Don Dick of Enderlin, Bryan Erstad of Jamestown, Larry Omdahl of Fordville and Scott Johnson of Tolna. The celebration started with a golf scramble in Park River which the Enderlin Indies took 1st, then there was a social hour at The Wells Drinking Well in Fordville, the Hall of Fame banquet followed where a roast beef dinner was served before the inductees each gave a speech and the night ended with a dance and silent auction. The banquet hall was packed with family and friends of each Hall of Famer.

Manager Don Dick has led the Indies for 22 years. During those years of managing, he has brought Enderlin 6 state titles. Being a manager of an amateur team means filling many roles, which include scheduling games, recruiting players, making lineups, making sure there are enough players to fill a lineup, playing games, field maintenance and making travel arrangements to name a few. It also takes a lot of time and commitment to keep the program running and he has done that with flying colors. Most of all Manager Don Dick makes the summers awesome for the individual Indies. Our hats are off to you. Thanks Don.

Past and present Indies who attended the banquet were Taran Langland, Tanner Groth, Bruce Madsen, Lawrence Rolland, James Gillespie, Don Dick, Travis Midthun, Kevin Bratland, Kayl Hamre, Clint Lindemann, Neil Roesler, Dustin Nelson, Pat Adair, Logan Midthun and David Dick.
