Charles smith is who I think of from those pitt teams, but I don't think that he was from Ohio.

Hint: One of his teammates in HS was Frank Stams. (Notre Dame football and also played for the Browns)

"Send it in Jerome" Jerome Lane

Jerome Lane is correct!

Back in the day, when I was coaching, we met up with Lane and Stams a couple of times in the Districts at the Canton Field House. They beat us, I think twice and we got them once in Lane’s senior year.

Baseball seems too obvious. I'll guess boxing.

It’s boxing, but I can’t remember who. 

Also, one of the reasons for building the stadium was to host Olympics. Never happened. 

Here’s my joke answer: Burr vs. Hamilton

You guys are right. Professional Boxing, Schmeling vs Stribling. Burr and Hamilton were on the undercard.

Attendance: 36,000

Max Schmeling had some big fights with Joe Lewis (Germany vs. USA)

Interestingly enough, Schmeling set up training camp at Conneaut Lake Park, and Striking had his at Geauga State Park.

Jerome Lane is from SVSM!? Never knew.
