	Floyd "Sal" Lashomb Norfolk, NY Floyd served in the Armed Forces as a medic and was very active in sports, playing both softball and basketball. He was named to the All Army Team in 1969, as a member of the U.S. Army Japan Team, who were softball champions. Sal also played shortstop and was named the Outstanding Hitter in the tournament. Sal pitched 21 years from 1969 through 1989. He pitched in many Class "B' Fast Pitch Tournaments, almost always finishing first or second. Sal pitched in 24 Modified Tournaments from 1975 until 1989, finishing first 12 times and second 7 times. Primarily a pitcher,Sal was also an outstanding hitter and played shortstop when not pitching. Although small in stature, Sal often batted over .400 with occasional power. Sal also helped found the Athletic Achievement Scholarship Committee, which provides scholarships to Norwood-Norfolk's top college bound athletes. An excerpt from one of many letters recommending Sal to the Hall of Fame. It was a Class "B" Tournament and our team was cruising into the bottom of the seventh with a 5-1 lead. There was a young know-it-all shortstop playing and Sal was pitching. With two outs, a routine grounder was hit to short and as the shortstop went down to block it, it bounced over his shoulder and the team went on to lose the game. I remember tears literally streaming down his face, as he sat dejectedly on the bench, not wanting to face his teammates. Then I remember a hand on my shoulder and Sal saying with a smile on his face. "Don't worry 'Stumpy,' there will be a lot more games." Sal passed away in a tragic car accident in 1990. \| Hall of Fame Photo Album \| Hamilton Bio \| Marx Bio \| Staples Bio \| Dorazio Bio \| Farrell Bio \| Katcher Bio \| Plummer Bio \| Snyder Bio \| Aurigemma Bio \| Houck Bio \| Veronesi Bio \| GWilliams Bio \| Charles Bio \| Herman Bio \| Caprara Bio \| Crane Bio \| Held Bio \| Lewenn Bio \| Stewart Bio \| Clavio Bio \| Craver Bio \| Doxsey Bio \| Love Bio \| McKenna Bio \| McSweeney Bio \| Costine Bio \| Crisci Bio \| Valachovic Bio \| DeFligio Bio \| Hess Bio \| Caserto Bio \| Dardano Bio \| Ong Bio \| Gaffney Bio \| Mott Bio \| Schneider Bio \| Calcagino Bio \| Chiavelli Bio \| Curtin Jack \| Durante Bio \| Molinaro Bio \| Berman Bio \| Dumah Bio \| Horton Bio \| Key Bio \| Petrillo Bio \| Vasenelli Bio \| Butch Veronesi Bio \| Wells Bio \| Castle Bio \| Gallo Bio \| Moresco Bio \| Morien Bio \| Zovistoski Bio \| Lashomb Bio \| Taurisano Bio \| Argento Bio \| Brown Bio \| Masco Bio \| Boise Bio \| Chappell Bio \| Fetterly Bio \| Goyette Bio \| Millard Bio \| Rathburn Bio \| Hoffman Bio \| Kerr Bio \| Partigianoni Bio \| Passante Bio \| Sanford Bio \| Barker Bio \| Chetney Bio \| Foland Bio \| Eggleston Bio \| Richard Johnson Bio \| Savona Bio \| Bosch Bio \| Kusmuk Bio \| Walsh Bio \| Soricelli Bio \| Jan Fetterly Bio \| Blum Bio \| Gears Bio \| Tom Castle Bio \| Jan Fetterly Bio \| \| Francis E.
