I rise today to celebrate my neighbor, Helen Moraga's, 100th birthday. Helen graduated in 1945 from Santa Ana High School. After graduating, she played shortstop on an all-female professional baseball team in Orange County. Later, Helen married Frank Gomez Moraga, a fellow Orange County resident, and they raised their three sons in the same neighborhood they grew up in. Helen and Frank were married for 60 years and shared 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. At 100 years young, Helen loves reading, gardening, and spending time with her friends and family. Mr. Speaker, I wish Helen a happy birthday. Go Saints.
