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.
