Political Quotes

On the recordJune 23, 1998
after 18 successful years with the Edwardsville High School Tigers, Coach Tom Pile is retiring from coaching baseball. He has never won fewer than 20 games in a season, and his teams have made five State tournament appearances. In 1994 he was elected to the Illinois High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Even better, Coach Tom Pile is going out on top. Just recently his Tigers won the Class AA Baseball Championship, being the first Illinois Class AA team to finish with a perfect undefeated season, 40 and 0. While Coach Tom Pile is a constituent of mine, his daughter, Elizabeth Pile, is on the staff of our colleague, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Costello). Congratulations to the Edwardsville Tigers baseball team for a championship season, and especially Coach Tom Pile for a great coaching career and a great daughter.
