H.R. No. 2328 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Rene Vasquez has built a notable career in sports | ||
broadcasting that has spanned three decades; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Corpus Christi and raised in Bluebonnet, | ||
Rene Vasquez began announcing little league baseball games at the | ||
age of 10, and several years later, while attending Seale Junior | ||
High School in Robstown, he got his start in radio at the | ||
Bishop-based station KFLZ-FM; there, he assisted in calling both | ||
the 1987 and 1988 University Interscholastic League 4A baseball | ||
state semifinals, which featured his future alma mater, Robstown | ||
High School; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 1989, Mr. Vasquez joined the staff of what is now | ||
Majic 104.9 FM, where he earned the moniker "Locker Room"; in the | ||
years since, he has provided insightful coverage of area high | ||
school baseball, softball, and football teams, a number of whose | ||
student-athletes have gone on to professional careers in sports; he | ||
is also known for his illuminating interviews with such figures as | ||
Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, Houston Astros | ||
president Reid Ryan, and legendary Texas Longhorns coach Cliff | ||
Gustafson; and | ||
WHEREAS, For the past 30 years, this mainstay of the Coastal | ||
Bend airwaves has informed and entertained countless area sports | ||
fans, and he is indeed deserving of special recognition for his many | ||
years of service to South Texas sports; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Rene Vasquez for his exceptional 30-year | ||
career in sports broadcasting and extend to him sincere best wishes | ||
for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Vasquez as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
