Elyria Hall of Famer Fred Lehman Overcame Odds
Newly elected Elyria Sports Hall of Famer Fred Lehman excelled against older rivals, starting high school as a 12 year old and college as an 18 year old junior. He rose from Elyria lightweights to heavyweight, starred as a halfback at Carnegie Tech, and drew East Coast publicity for his youth. Also noted are local athletes across track, basketball, baseball and tennis, plus a New York tee shirt promotion tied to payola rumors and batboy bonuses.
