      2023-2024
                        Representative Ghanbari
                       A RESOLUTION
                         Honoring Jim Leyland
      on being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
     WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 135th   1
General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to commend Jim Leyland on his       2
induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame; and                   3
     WHEREAS, As one of the most decorated managers in the history of    4
Major League Baseball, Jim Leyland has demonstrated remarkable energy,   5
enthusiasm, and dedication in leading his teams to victory. Just one     6
of seven managers to win the pennant in both the American and National   7
League and one of eleven managers to lead three different teams to the   8
postseason, he is certainly worthy of the prestige that is accorded      9
with this honor; and                                                     10
     WHEREAS, Throughout his career, Jim Leyland established himself as 11
a talented and beloved manager, and his record of success is still a    12
standard for others to emulate. Among his achievements, he led the      13
Florida Marlins to the 1997 World Series and the United States          14
national team to the 2017 World Baseball Classic Gold Medal, and he     15
has earned the genuine esteem and appreciation of many; and             16
     WHEREAS, With baseball serving as a beloved and essential part of   17
America's culture and heritage, we are extremely pleased to pay          18
tribute to Jim Leyland and his many fine contributions to the sport.     19
Truly, baseball has seen very few figures like him, and it is            20
doubtless that he will continue to inspire many to achieve their full    21
potential. We salute him on taking his justly earned place in            22
Cooperstown; therefore be it                                             23
     RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of   24
the 135th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution,         25
H. R. No. 572                                                     Page 2
