John Svehla in today's bingo lingo, is “The Dude.” He was the 1975 MVP for the state champion York Legion team. At Nebraska Wesleyan he earned All-Conference and All-District honors three times and was an All-American as a senior. From 1979-1997 John played for many semi-pro squads, including York, Lincoln/Waverly, Osceola, Lincoln Runza, Seward and numerous Omaha squads. He was an all state selection nine times at three different positions and was a finalist for the State Player of the Year three times. Twice he won this award which was presented by the Nebraska Baseball Digest. The honors continued as he was selected on the All-Decade team for the 80's and was the Nebraska League player of the year. He could do it all! Congratulations, John Svehla, for your deserved place on the wall in the “Hall.”
