Robert Granville "Bob" Lemon (1920 – 2000) was an
American right-handed
pitcher and
manager in
Major League Baseball (MLB). Lemon was elected to the
National Baseball Hall of Fame as a player in 1976. Lemon was raised in
California where he played high school baseball and was the state player of the year in 1938. At the age of 17, Lemon began his professional baseball career in the
Cleveland Indians organization, with whom he played for his entire professional career. Lemon was called up to Cleveland's major league team as a
utility player in 1941. He then joined the
United States Navy during
World War II and returned to the Indians in
1946. That season was the first Lemon would play at the pitcher position. The Indians played in the
1948 World Series and were helped by Lemon's two
pitching wins as they won the club's first championship since
1920. In the early 1950s, Cleveland had a starting pitching rotation which included Lemon,
Bob Feller,
Mike Garcia and
Early Wynn. During the
1954 season, Lemon had a career-best 23–7
win–loss record and the Indians set a 154-game season AL-record win mark when they won 111 games before they won the
American League (AL)
pennant. He was an
All-Star for seven consecutive seasons and recorded seven seasons of 20 or more pitching wins in a nine-year period from 1948–1956. Lemon was a
manager with the
Kansas City Royals,
Chicago White Sox and
New York Yankees. He was named Manager of the Year with the White Sox and Yankees. In
1978, he was fired as manager of the White Sox. He was named Yankees manager one month later and he led the team to a
1978 World Series title. Lemon became the first AL manager to win a World Series after assuming the managerial role in the middle of a season.
The
Isidore H. Heller House is a house located at 5132 Woodlawn Avenue in the
Hyde Park community area of
Chicago in
Cook County,
Illinois,
United States. The house was designed by American
architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The design is credited as one of the turning points in Wright's shift to
geometric,
Prairie School architecture, which is defined by horizontal lines, flat or
hipped roofs with broad overhanging
eaves, windows grouped in horizontal bands, and an integration with the landscape, which is meant to evoke native
Prairie surroundings. The work demonstrates Wright's shift away from emulating the style of his mentor,
Louis Sullivan.
Richard Bock, a Wright collaborator and sculptor, provided some of the ornamentation, including a
plaster frieze. The ownership history of this building demonstrates the property's evolution and development in the framework of surrounding Hyde Park buildings, and the building's location in the current community—near other Prairie School architecture—includes this building into the overall body of Lloyd Wright's work. The Heller House was designated a
Chicago Landmark on September 15, 1971, and added to the
National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1972. On 18 August 2004, the U.S. Department of the Interior designated the house a
National Historic Landmark.
