Class of 2022
Lamont Oliver - Lamont was a dominant two-sport athlete in Cheyenne in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1991, he had a remarkable 16 hits and took home MVP honors as Post 6 won its first Wyoming State Legion Baseball Tournament since the 1970s. Oliver’s performance included seven base hits in a 13-inning elimination game against No. 1 seed Casper. For his career, Oliver hit more than twenty home runs. Oliver, who was also an All-State linebacker and running back for the Cheyenne Central Indians state championship team in 1989, played college baseball and football at Midland Lutheran College in Nebraska.
Danny Orr - An imposing right-handed flame thrower, Orr pitched for Post 6 for three seasons in the mid-1980s. With a fastball that consistently registered speeds in the mid-90s on the radar gun, Orr played college baseball at Glendale Community College in Glendale, AZ, before becoming the first native of Cheyenne to be drafted in the Major League Draft. He then played several years of minor league baseball in the Oakland Athletics organization.
Shane Taylor - Shane played when it was rare to play three seasons of varsity legion baseball in Cheyenne, playing from 1989-1991. In 1989, as a 16-year-old, Taylor hit .351. His most impressive season came in 1991 when he led the State Championship team with a .364 batting average and six home runs. Taylor went on to play college baseball at Regis University in Denver, Colorado.
John Wimmer - Wimmer is generally regarded as one of the best defensive shortstops to play baseball in Cheyenne, but it was his bat and speed that most impressed the selection committee. In 1987, Wimmer hit .341, and in 1988 he led Post 6 in average (.402), doubles (19), triples (6), home runs (5), and RBI (41). Wimmer also played college baseball.
Mike Zegunis - Mike was a hitting machine for Post 6 in the late 1980s. In 1987, he hit .403 in the regular season – .043 higher than the next-best hitter. He also hit three home runs during the Wyoming State Legion Tournament. In 1988, he hit .398 and had 14 doubles and 39 RBIs (all second to fellow inductee Wimmer). Zegunis was part of a junior college national championship football team at Glendale Community College before becoming a starter at Fort Hayes State University, where he later coached.
Steve Soltesz - Soltesz played for Post 6 in the late 1980s. In 1988 he batted .364, good for the fourth highest on the team, and was second on the team in doubles and slugging percentage. In 1989 he finished the regular season with a .417 batting average, more than .050 better than the next-best hitter on the team. He was also a team leader in RBI that season, and picked up a dozen hits at the Wyoming State Legion Tournament, pushing his final season average over .430.
