Whatever happened to Art Schlister?

Still in prison as far as I know. I work with a lady whose 17 year old daughter is dating Art's son. She doesn't press him on what's up with his dad. It's got to be hard on the poor kid.

On the bright side, the kid is a good high school player, and should get a free ride to a good school.

He then played for two years for the Philadelphia Eagles I knew I'd heard of him. Didn't see any local news today.

I always felt sorry for Art's wife and kids. They have gone through so much.

As you know, I'm a big Buckeye fan, as is my entire family.

One of my late daddy's most disappointing moments was seeing Schleister scalping OSU basketball tickets in front of St. John's Arena for a men's game back in the 80s.

Wow. I knew Art sank low, but that's pretty bad. Imagine. A former millionaire scalping tickets. Outside the venue like a silly 18 year old freshman looking for beer money.

I would think so. There are too many players collapsing and dying due to heart diseases. It is symptomatic of heavy or continued use of steriods among other things.

Go to an oldie bodybuilding site and look at the pictures of Bodybuilders from the 50s even the Mr Americas

Todays running backs and linebackers make them look small and they were FULL TIME bodybuilders

He is still in prison. The Schlister Family from Washington Court House, Ohio is highly respected. Art's brother is a representative in the state legislature. Art got adicted to gambling and it ruined his life.

In 2002 Art's brother won a legislative seat that had been held by the Demorats since 1932. In that race, for the first time in my memory a Repubican candidate went door to door in three counites. Schlister must have, over several months, knocked on every door in the district. The Democrat he beat was shocked and very angry when they counted the votes.
