Al Newman of the Blue Anchors

Lynelle Brickweg introduced Al Newman, former Minnesota Twin baseball player. Al Newman is no stranger to success, and no stranger to Minnesota baseball fans. As a MLB infielder, Newman won two World Series titles. Both of those titles came with the Minnesota Twins, 1987 and 1991. After his playing career ended, he coached and managed in the Twins organization, and later became the 3rd base coach for the Minnesota Twins from 2002-2005.

Now, after some time away from managing, Newman is coming back to lead the Alexandria Blue Anchors in the 2014 campaign. The Alexandria Blue  Anchors is a member of the Northwoods League playing at Knute Nelson Ball Park; GG Freitag is Director of Sales and Marketing; and Kendall Hughson is Manager/Director  of Baseball Operations. Local owners are Scott Allen, Adam Barta, Shane Schmidt and Shaynen Schmidt.
