Donald R. Bollweg , Ex-Baseball Player
A memorial service for Donald R. Bollweg, a former Wheaton Board of Elections analyst who was a major league baseball player, will be at 10 a.m. June 11 in St. Michael's Catholic Church, 315 W. Illinois, Wheaton.
Mr. Bollweg, 75, died Sunday in DuPage County Convalescent Center, Wheaton. Burial was private.
He spent nearly 15 years in organized baseball, mostly in the minor league chains of the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees of the 1940s and '50s. He retired in 1956, and worked in real estate and insurance before serving on the Board of Elections from 1981 to 1993.
On May 13, 1953, as he substituted at first base for the Yankees, Mr. Bollweg hit a three-run homer and later a single that sparked a rally that gave the Yanks a 9-4 win over the Cleveland Indians.
Surviving are his wife, Blanche; two sons, Mickey and Marty; a sister, Sr. Margie, a Catholic nun, and two brothers, Bob and Dick.
First wife & mother of sons: Betty Jean Farley
