New Germany Dutchmen The New Germany Dutchmen amateur baseball team is a member of the Crow River Valley League, and has a strong tradition in the New Germany community. 2019 was a step in the right direction for the Dutchmen as they continue to improve their program with young talent. After winning just one game in 2018, the Dutchmen won three games in 2019. While the record was nothing to write home about, the Dutchmen made improvements throughout the season. While the improvements added a pair of wins this year, manager Dave Tuttle has the Dutchmen on the rise, as he’s recruited a young core to build around. The Dutchmen had their season come to an end in the league playoffs. They were swept by the Brownton Bruins in two-straight games. Fathers Day pork chop feed at New Germany The Dutchmen host an annual Fathers Day pork chop dinner ner every year, and it has become one of the more popular baseball attractions during the summer. A strong tradition Baseball has been an important part of New Germany’s history since the early 1900s, and is to this day. New Germany baseball legend Gerald “Beans” Roepke noted that in the early 1900s until 1955, baseball in New Germany was played in Fred Hein’s pasture, which is now Lindstrom Park.
