He of the was proud KIM NELSON Pro Baseball World By DAVE WIGHAM BOUNTIFUL - The pic- ture of a professional baseball player is always a bright one. Those guys that make over one hundred thousand a year chasing fly balls and hitting home runs. Every youngster whoever puts on a uniform dreams of playing pro ball one day. KIM NELSON was different. He grew no up watching his older brothers Dave and Clyde do their thing with great success. He then turned his baseball powers on and many say he was the best of the Nelson brothers. After a great career at Viewmont, Kim took to the south to Brigham Young University for four more years of baseball. While at BYU all Kim did was make and three years two years. THEN THE dream became a reality for this likeable youngster when he was signed by the Minnesota Twins organization in June of 1978. Things couldnt be better for Kim Nelson. The dream started in a town called Elizabethon, you know the one in Tennessee in the Appalachian League. As were all players Kim was staying with a family in the town, the Robert Tilk family. Its not a common practice in baseball but the town owned the team and they took care of us. KIM ADMITTED that the players did pay some money for their lodging but it was nothing compared to what it would have cost them in an apartment. That first year Kim played mostly at third base, but then the shortstop was injured and since the team had another third baseman some switching went on and Kim played some second base. I played there some in college so it wasnt completely new to me. THE DREAM turned out to be great that first month of pro ball. Kim hit .330 with 10 home runs and earned the Player of the Month honors in this rookie league. Unfor Spray Ceilings Only improvement the players made individually and as a team throughout the baseball year. tunately the league only lasted two months and near the end I hit a tailspin and THE PARENTS support was evident at all the games finished the year hitting around .280. This past year he went to spring training on March 13 with high expectations of playing AA ball. Spring training was in Melborne, Fla., which was about 50 miles away from the major league club. This is where some problems arose for Kim. IN SPRING training they simply divide you into teams and let you play games. I was with the California team, the AA team all through the r suddenly just before the time to report to the various cities I was moved down. I didnt know the manager and he didnt know me so it was tough. I have always got along with my coaches but for some reason this guy didnt have much faith in me as a rides to games, of playing every day sometimes twice a day, with four days total off for the summer. HE HAS no regrets about playing professional baseball. You have to give it a chance. The life is not the best but I had enough good experiences to override the bad. It was a growing period for me. One thing I found out is that if the club doesnt have Fran Brown 575 Now v C' ', HORSE SHOW There are 20 classes in which all breeds of horses may be entered for the All a lot of money invested in you and you dont impress the right guy in a hurry, youre fighting a great uphill bat- tle."

Kim reported to Wisconsin Rapids in the midwest league, which is an A league in Wisconsin. It was a frustrating time for Kim because for the first time in his life he wasnt playing regularly, and he didnt know the reason for it either. They didnt show much interest in my afterspring training. THEN IN June, Kim was released by the club, something he said he could see coming. The worse part of it all was the timing. My folks were flying in to watch me play and my girlfriend was too. I was at the airport picking up my girl when they told me I was released. I left the following day.
