MLB Players from North Dakota & Western Minnesota
Wantlist
Another collection that I enjoy working on is my collection of MLB players
that are from North Dakota and western Minnesota. Whether they were born in ND and western Minnesota or spent significant time of their lives here, I am interested in growing this collection. Unlike most of the states in the U.S., North Dakota is sparsely populated making a collection like this very attainable.
The most notable MLB player from North Dakota was Roger Maris. While he was born in Hibbing, Minnesota, Roger moved to Fargo, North Dakota at an early age and graduated from Fargo Shanley High School. Below, a 19-year old Roger is shown as a member of the Fargo-Moorhead Twins and of course as he hits his 61st home run on October 1st, 1961 - which was ironically my first birthday!
ROGER MARIS WANTLIST
I am interested in ALL Roger Maris Topps baseball cards as well as any and all Roger Maris related memorabalia.
The following list of MLB players were born in North Dakota. I am interested in ALL baseball card and/or memorabilia of any of these players.
