Alex Schoenbaum (born August 8, 1915 in Charleston, West Virginia〔http://jpreisler.com/WVJewish/well-known_WV_Jews.html〕 — d. December 6, 1996 in Sarasota, Florida) was an American collegiate football player and businessman in the hospitality industry, eventually operating a chain of motels and over 1,000 restaurants. He is best remembered for developing the Shoney's restaurant chain in the southeastern United States, many of which were franchised Big Boy locations.〔 *〕 ==Childhood and College Football career== Schoenbaum grew up in West Virginia where as a boy he worked in his father's bowling establishments in Charleston and Huntington. He played tackle at Ohio State University from 1936-1938. Schoenbaum became a regular after the first game of the 1936 season and was named AP All-Western Conference honorable mention. That year, Ohio State had a record of 5-3-0 (4-1-0, tied for second in conference). In 1937, he was named Grantland Rice All-America honorable mention, and AP All-Western Conference second team as the Buckeyes finished the season ranked No. 13. Their stingy defense allowed only two teams to score all year. Unfortunately, those two games were losses for the Buckeyes as they fell to Southern Cal, 13-12, and Indiana, 10-0. The Buckeyes had an overall record of 6-2-0 (5-1-0 in conference) and outscored their opponents 125-23 that year. In 1938, Ohio State struggled to a record of 4-3-1 (3-2-1 in conference). Schoenbaum still excelled, and was named Grantland Rice All-America honorable mention, and AP All-Western Conference second team. Alex played in the 1939 College All-Star Game, and also played in All-Star games against the New York Giants and Cleveland Rams of the National Football League. He was a 7th round selection (55th overall pick) of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1939 NFL Draft. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alex Schoenbaum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
