Dick Stigman

Richard Lewis Stigman (born January 24, 1936) for the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox. Born in Nimrod, Minnesota, he graduated from Sebeka High School. Surprisingly, he was selected to the American League All-Star team by manager Al López, Boston traded Stigman to the Cincinnati Reds during the off-season, and he pitched one more season of Triple-A before retiring.

In his 235 big-league games pitched, including 119 starts, Stigman posted a 46–54 record. In 922 innings pitched, he surrendered 819 hits and 406 bases on balls; he fanned 755. He had 30 complete games, five shutouts and 16 career saves.

In retirement, he became a businessman in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. In his honor, a park in his home town of Nimrod was named Stigman's Mound. Stigman's Mound is a favorite stop for picnics, launches or finishes by canoe enthusiasts on the adjacent Crow Wing River, a tributary of the Mississippi River.

The Nimrod Gnats, amateur baseball team in Nimrod, named their baseball field after him.
