induction into the Professional Football Hall of

Fame.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):

WHEREAS, The members of the 129th General Assembly of the	5
State of Ohio are pleased to support the induction of Dick	6
Schafrath into the Professional Football Hall of Fame; and	7

WHEREAS, Dick Schafrath is, indeed, deserving of induction	8
into the Professional Football Hall of Fame for it would be a	9
fitting tribute to his numerous accomplishments in the sport of	10
football. He was an offensive lineman with the Cleveland Browns	11
for 13 seasons from 1959 to 1971, and, throughout that time, the	12
team never had a losing season, compiling a record of 59-23-2 and	13
winning five conference or division titles and a national	14
championship. During his career, Dick Schafrath blocked for such	15
Hall of Fame running backs as Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell, and LeRoy	16
Kelly, and he was named a National Football League All-Pro for six	17
consecutive years; and	18

WHEREAS, Dick Schafrath is a remarkable individual because he	19
successfully combined talent and competitive spirit with the	20
highest ideals of good sportsmanship to become a truly exceptional	21
athlete. He is certainly deserving of high praise; and	22

WHEREAS, Dick Schafrath's record of personal and professional	23
achievement stands as a hallmark worthy of emulation, and he has	24
inspired countless individuals to excel in numerous areas of	25
endeavor. With or without national acclaim, his accomplishments	26
and leadership are a justifiable source of pride not only for him,	27
but also for his family, his community, and the Cleveland Browns;	28
now therefore be it	29

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 129th General Assembly	30
of the State of Ohio, in adopting this resolution, salute Dick	31
Schafrath and encourage the selection committee of the	32
Professional Football Hall of Fame to acknowledge his efforts by	33
inducting him; and be it further	34

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives	35
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to Dick	36
Schafrath, the selection committee of the Professional Football	37
Hall of Fame, and the news media of Ohio.	38
