Former St. Louis Park baseball player Derrick Keller, a 2011 alll-state selection as a senior, died in June after a 10-month struggle with leukemia.
On January 7th, the St Louis Park City Council approved renaming the baseball field Derrick Keller called home for entirety of his baseball career to “Derrick Keller Field at Dakota Park”.
Efforts are underway, by SLP Baseball's Booster Club, to raise funds for the scoreboard in Derrick’s honor. If you would like to support the scoreboard at the newly renamed "Derrick Keller Field," you can send donations to:
The St. Louis Park Dugout Club,
5115 Excelsior Boulevard, #435, St. Louis Park, MN 55416.
