| JThis pair of hurlers, Joe Stanka (l) and Diedrich Wiegand (r) posted almost identical records. Joe threw righthanded and Wiegand was a southpaw. Joe was 16-5 in 1951 and Diedrich was 16-4. Stanka struck out 132 KOM League batsmen and Wiegand whiffed 135. The difference between the two was control. Stanka walked 88 batters while Wiegand gave out 122 free passes. |
| Help would be appreciated in learning the whereabouts or fate of Diedrich Wiegand. When Wiegand joined the Ponca City Dodgers he was a 19 year old from Overton, Nebraska. |
