Title: I learned something new today.
Post by: Stogie Vol on August 10, 2011, 11:08:45 EDT
Harvey Lee Yeary, who later became The Six Million Dollar Man with the stage name of Lee Majors chose this stage name as a tribute to his childhood hero, Johnny Majors.

Lee Majors was born in Michigan, but was adopted by his uncle and aunt when he was 1 year old, moving to Middlesboro KY.

You must be a young guy, Stogie.  That story has been out there since Johnny came marching home again.   :toothless:

Yep.  Lee Majors was also known to roam the sidelines from time to time at home games during Johnny's tenure.   :biggrin:
