BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, The members of the 129th General Assembly of the
State of Ohio are pleased to support the induction of Dick
Schafrath into the Professional Football Hall of Fame; and |
| WHEREAS, Dick Schafrath is, indeed, deserving of induction
into the Professional Football Hall of Fame for it would be a
fitting tribute to his numerous accomplishments in the sport of
football. He was an offensive lineman with the Cleveland Browns
for 13 seasons from 1959 to 1971, and, throughout that time, the
team never had a losing season, compiling a record of 59-23-2 and
winning five conference or division titles and a national
championship. During his career, Dick Schafrath blocked for such
Hall of Fame running backs as Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell, and LeRoy
Kelly, and he was named a National Football League All-Pro for six
consecutive years; and |
| WHEREAS, Dick Schafrath is a remarkable individual because he
successfully combined talent and competitive spirit with the
highest ideals of good sportsmanship to become a truly exceptional
athlete. He is certainly deserving of high praise; and |
| WHEREAS, Dick Schafrath's record of personal and professional
achievement stands as a hallmark worthy of emulation, and he has
inspired countless individuals to excel in numerous areas of
endeavor. With or without national acclaim, his accomplishments
and leadership are a justifiable source of pride not only for him,
but also for his family, his community, and the Cleveland Browns;
now therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 129th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, in adopting this resolution, salute Dick
Schafrath and encourage the selection committee of the
Professional Football Hall of Fame to acknowledge his efforts by
inducting him; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly
authenticated copies of this resolution to Dick Schafrath, the
selection committee of the Professional Football Hall of Fame, and
the news media of Ohio. |
