He attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison and was baseball M.V.P. in 1953. He signed with the St. Louis Cardinals and that same year Ron was inducted into the Wisconsin Coaches Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983 and the Wisconsin Old Time Ball Players Hall of Fame in 1993. He received a B.S. and M.S. in education from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and received his synodical certification at Milwaukee Lutheran Teachers’ College.
