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. |
