This is the main entrance to Rocky Bleier Field
on the Knights of Sports Complex at Xavier High School.

The facility was dedicated in a special ceremony on Friday, October 12, 2007.  It previously was the Knights of Columbus Athletic Field. Note how there are 23 spindles along the bottom of each side of the heavy gates manufactured by Metalist Laserfab of Oshkosh as a gift to Xavier High School.  Rocky wore # 23 when he played for the Hawks. A 1964 graduate of Xavier, Rocky went on to play at the University of Notre Dame and then for 12 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.  After winning a national championship at Notre Dame and being a captain for the Irish football team, Bleier recovered from severe injuries in the Viet Nam war to earn a spot on the first team to win four Super Bowls -- which the Steelers accomplished during a 6-year span... 1975, '76, '79 and '80.
