Seems like no one can stop the wheel of time! Most recently, the baseball world faced the loss of a legend, Roger Craig. And now, last night, the baseball world suffered the loss of yet another icon. Daniel C Ulmer, a man who revolutionized baseball in Louisville, breathed his last at Masonic Home. Although Ulmer was known for many things in his life, the thing that he’ll forever be known for would be of bringing Triple-A baseball back to Louisville in 1982. His efforts bore fruit when the team, Louisville Bats, a minor league team of the MLB franchise Cincinnati Reds, led to the renaissance of minor league baseball across the country.

Dan lived a full life of 90 years. And in these years, he never let a moment go by without giving back to the community. The passing of an icon as amazing as Dan has saddened the entire baseball community.
