On the recordMarch 6, 1996
a great, great honor befell one of our colleagues yesterday. Jim Bunning from Kentucky, a very good friend of mine. Everybody here in the front row was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. This is an honor that very few baseball players ever achieve. Jim pitched no-hitters in both the American and National Leagues. He did extraordinary things and it is high time he was recognized. I remember when I was about 6 years old, and he was in the majors, how much I admired Jim Bunning. Maybe I was a little bit older, but anyhow let me just say that Jim deserves this honor. I hope all of my colleagues will take the opportunity today to congratulate him. It is a great honor for Jim Bunning and a great honor for the State of Kentucky.
