Last summer Peter Burg worked on the rounds crew and in the concession stand at St. Cloud River Bats games. This summer in the Northwoods league, he was a midseason North Division All-Star, a postseason All-Star, and the obvious choice for Inspirational Player of the Year for the Rochester Honkers.

Burg was the most consistent starter for the Honkers all season long. The crafty left-hander didn't have overpowering stuff, but he threw a lot of strikes and used his defense behind him. A Division III pitcher from the St. Scholastica, Burg proved that some Division III players are capable of big things. He consistently threw strikes the entire season, and finished with a 5-3 record, a 2.09 ERA ranking him 7th overall in the Northwoods League, and 30 strikeouts. He tied for the lead in the Northwoods League with two shutouts.
