Irish teammates and fans everywhere, especially Young
America, where a true fondness of #14 has developed over the
years. Lehrke has sent many a white sphere long into the night
sky, to disappear into the distance beyond the lightower... T.L.
was named to the State All-Tournament team in 1994, 1999,
and 2003... set a state tournament record in 2003 drawing 11
walks... His wicked approach to pitching strikes fear into the
heart of many, especially his catcher... Continuously among
team leaders in batting average, RBIs and home runs... the
position of the Lefty's hat is a good indicator of the time of
night... Careful to make sure his hat matches. Able to get
punched in the face one night, then whip fastballs by his
assailants the next day... Hit 13 homers as the Irish were
state-runners in 1999... Enjoys hunting, frying fish, and Belle
Plaine in his spare time.
