Ko r>' -rj&ii Af*"* iC In the Lou i Gehrig mold The Twins' Paul Molitor is the 1997 Lou Gehrig Award winner By Ritter Collett r^-*»-*>5w'jccSBr Paul Molitor stands tall among major league baseball players of the 1990s \vho still face up to the challenges to accept dxu responsibilities and serve as role models. The 20-year veteralfifl||Sw with his hometo^\•n Minnesota T^^^ns is the 1997 winner of Phi Delta Theta's Lou Gshos Memorial A^vard. THE SCROLL SPRING 1 >^
"We athletes have the opening to do good and lead the wayf' Molitor is the 44th recipient of the memorial to the legendary New York Yankees "Iron Horse" Hall of Famer. Paul's response to being voted the award was what one might expect from a man of his reputation. "To be recognized with anything bearing Lou Gehrig's name would be significant. He's the ultimate role model," Molitor put it. "It is always nice to be recognized with an award that comes firomoff-field contributions. We athletes have the opening to do good and lead the way. "It shouldn't be to draw attention to ourselves, but to be able to feel that we are able to help others." Helping kids The many off-field activities in Molitor's resume are directed at helping children. He has helped sponsor the "Ignitor Team" ticket program in the Twin Cities of MinneapoUs and St. Paul. This has enabled him to bring thousands of kids, seniors and needy persons to the ballpark. He is actively involved with the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer which has involved treatment of many youngsters. Through the Countdown 3000 Baseball Auction, he raised $40,000 for the Minnesota Make-A-Wish Foundation and Camp Heartiand, a camp providing recreation and care for youngsters with AIDS and HIV. He and his wife, Linda, are co-chairpersons for Camp Heartland and have made personal contributions of $250,000 to the project. He was spokesman for the Twins "Stop the Violence Day" in the Metrodome. He is the past winner of Athletes for Young "Good Guy" Award and the American League Joe Cronin Achievement Award and the Hutch Award for overcoming adversity. 3,000 hits MoUtor's on-field activities are very much in the Lou Gehrig mold. He crossed the 3,000 hit plateau with a triple September 16,1996 at Kansas City against Pitcher Jose Rosado. In the post-game interviews he said he regretted that it didn't come in the Metrodome with the Twins fans able to see it. That 3,000th hit is generally regarded as a future ticket to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown where 14 previous Gehrig Award winners are enshrined. He is currently 12th on the all-time hit Ust, headed by Pete Rose, the 1969 Gehrig Award winner. During his brilliant 1996 season when he came home as a free agent, he hit .341 with 113 runs driven in and a leagueleading 225 hits. In the process he became only the second major leaguer to have 600 at bats at age 40, another link to Gehrig's durability. Molitor went into the 1998 season with a career batting average of .308, another boost to his Hall of Fame credentials. Defensive versatility has marked that phase of his play. Breaking in as a shortstop, the Brewers decided third base was his normal position. But he's also played second and first base, center field and a designated hitter. Paul Molitor at a glance He has been a seven-time All Star •Passed 3,000 hits in 1996 and played in two World Series with •Seven-time All Star the Milwaukee Brewers, with whom •Played in two World Series he spent most of his career. •12th on all-time hit list He played in the 1982 World Series with the Brewers and the 1993 October classic with the Toronto Blue Jays. He had a whopping .418 overall average (23 for 55) with 11 RBIs. An all-around athlete at Cretin High School in St. Paul, he earned all-state honors in baseball an basketball. He also played soccer and went on to the University of Minnesota. The Brewers made him their first round pick in the 1977 free agent draft, the third player overall. He spent only one half a season in the minors before coming up in 1978 to stay. "Paul MoUtor is precisely the sort of player the Gehrig Award is designed to recognize," says Robert A. Biggs, executive vice president of the Fraternity. "We're delighted to have him join an impressive list of honorees." Molitor will be presented the Lou Gehrig Award prior to a home game in the Metrodome this season.
