TOMMY WHITE—1963. He was selected for his great pitching on the baseball teams of 1961-62-63. A big man, he had a blazing fastball and a great curve ball that served him well in overpowering the opposing batters. He is ranked as one of the best pitchers to play at Lenoir City. Tommy was also a bruising type football player in these years. When asked about his most memorable sporting achievements, his response was “I just wanted to play the game”. And play the game he did. He was elected as a charter member to the Hall of Fame in 1970. |
