Hereford Highlanders

History Brief

Representing Franchise #15, Hereford was an original TCBA Origins team. Led by Doc Lyon, the Highlanders provided quality entertainment for the local fans until 1920. At that time, however, the lure of moonshine, short skirts and automobiles became too much of a distraction for young Doc Lyon, who swapped the team to Canadian Ed Hebscher in exchange for a Canadian whiskey recipe. Hebscher moved the team north of the border to Newmarket before selling out to New Hampshire native Casey Lyman. Casey led his whiskey-swilling Pubdwellers into the heart of the tough Depression years. With war looming, Lyman left TCBA Franchise #15 in the hands of Steve Lyon, whose Franchise #15 Regnads lived dangerously in the Chesapeake region from 1936 until 1942.
