Liberty High School graduate awarded prestigious MLB award

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/12/liberty_high_graduate_awarded.html#incart_river FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES Liberty High School graduate Mitch Lukevics has had his fingerprints on Major League Baseball for the past 32 years, but not in the way he originally thought. Lukevics, a second-round pick out of Penn State by the Chicago White Sox in 1975, wanted to reach the Major Leagues as a pitcher, but was released by the organization weeks after getting married in 1981. At the time, his plan was to return to Bethlehem and be a teacher and coach baseball.
