By Nick Gerhardt For more than 40 years teams across the Stearns County League have waited to see a cloud of dust emerge from the road after their Sunday games. That trail of gravel and dirt has meant one thing — Herman Lensing’s arrival. Since 1981 or so, Lensing has chronicled Stearns County League games as he copied the scorebooks from each game every Sunday. He’d stop at each of the four parks when the league had eight teams. His arrival meant teams got the scoop from Lensing on what happened across the league before they’d hear about it on the radio. Lensing later wrote his game stories for the Melrose Beacon.
