A legend in Hamilton sport, Lewis was elected Hamilton's Citizen of the Year in 1971, culminating a career that began in 1911 when he was a 13-year-old mascot and bat boy for the West End Pleasure Club baseball team. Pinky became a fixture around McMaster as a trainer and a friend to athletes after many years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. During his lifetime he became as well known in athletic circles as Hamilton mountain.
