Biographical Information

First baseman/outfielder Al Nordberg played in the Minnesota Twins minor league system from 1965 to 1970 after being drafted by the club as the first pick in the 17th round of the 1965 amateur draft (ahead of pitcher Dick Tidrow).

Perhaps his best year was 1967, when he slugged 20 doubles and 10 home runs for the Wisconsin Rapids Twins, while hitting .259 in 114 games. He also played for the FIL Twins that year, but his statistics with the team are unavailable.

He briefly reached Triple-A in 1970, hitting .158/.273/.175 in 33 games (57 at-bats) for the Evansville Triplets.
