This Sporting Life: Athletes of Laurel Hill West

Presented by Friends of Laurel Hill at West Laurel Hill Cemetery

Laurel Hill West is the final resting place for members of the baseball, tennis, skiing, hockey, and college football Halls of Fame. Hear the fascinating stories of a man whose inventions completely changed two sports, a 19th-century baseball outfielder who still holds a major league record, a tennis player who was a spy for the CIA on the side, the man who invented progressive resistance weightlifting, and others.  It’s a long walk around the cemetery, but you will meet some of the great sportspeople of the 19th and 20th centuries.
