H.R. No. 31
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Jeremy Peña achieved historic success in his first
  season with the Houston Astros by claiming 2022 Most Valuable
  Player honors in both the American League Championship Series and
  the World Series; and
         WHEREAS, A rookie shortstop, Mr. Peña was called up from
  Houston's reserve player squad and emerged as a dominant force
  during the 2022 regular season, posting 22 home runs to help the
  Astros enter the playoffs; he contributed a home run in their
  division series sweep of Seattle, and he produced two doubles and
  two home runs in the team's four-game ALCS sweep of the New York
  Yankees; his MVP performance helped secure Houston's fourth AL
  pennant in the past six years and a berth in the Fall Classic
  against the Philadelphia Phillies; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Peña exhibited remarkable confidence on the
  World Series stage, going 10 for 25 at the plate and displaying
  superb glove work on defense; his go-ahead solo shot in Houston's
  game five win was the first World Series homer by a rookie
  shortstop, and he further showcased his skills in game six, hitting
  two singles in four trips to the plate; with the contest scoreless
  after five innings, he delivered a clutch single, setting up a
  three-run homer that proved to be the decisive play in the Astros'
  4-1 victory that clinched their second overall crown; and
         WHEREAS, Racking up hits in all six World Series games,
  Mr. Peña became the first rookie position player to be named the
  World Series MVP; furthermore, he is only the third first-year
  player to receive that honor, and the 2022 Gold Glove winner is just
  the second Major League Baseball rookie to collect league
  championship series and World Series MVP awards in the same year; he
  played baseball for the University of Maine before being selected
  as Houston's third-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, and he joined
  the Astros after 182 minor league games; and
         WHEREAS, Jeremy Peña has distinguished himself as one of the
  top young competitors in Major League Baseball, and his
  accomplishments have inspired sports fans across the Lone Star
  State and the nation; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Jeremy Peña on being named the 2022
  MVP of the American League Championship Series and the World Series
  and extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
  further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Peña as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
