Uhlaender, big-league outfielder and scout, dies

On any other day, Karen Uhlaender would have been overjoyed to meet daughter Katie, who had just finished second in a World Cup skeleton race at Park City, Utah.

But Thursday she carried a message that their husband and father, Ted Uhlaender, had died suddenly at the family ranch near Atwood, Kan. He was 68.

I must be getting old...

Decent left-handed stick, unusual stance. What was that outfield? Tovar, Uhlaender, Allison.

Funny how these names, just the names even, can take you back in time.

RIP Ted

My friend has a ball with signatures of all the ‘68 Twins on it. He couldn’t believe that a team with Caesar Tovar would have a guy named Ted Uhlander as the everyday center fielder.

Later I remember him coaching for Charlie Manuel’s Indians. A class act. My prayers go out to his family.
