On the recordSeptember 26, 2002
I rise this morning with a note of remembrance. Raymond Hall Hayworth, age 98, passed away peacefully yesterday. The last teammate of Ty Cobb has now left his earthly field. Ray Hayworth wore a major league uniform in parts of 3 decades. His career spanned 13 years in the major leagues, first called up in 1926 to the Tigers. For purposes of full disclosure, Madam Speaker, I should note that Ray Hayworth was my granddad; and the lessons he taught me, not only about sports, but about life, are lessons far more valuable than I can express on the floor of this House. Our founders said they moved to secure the blessings of liberty for themselves and their posterity. In much the same way, my grandfather has left a legacy of freedom, as an athlete, as a role model, but, most of all, as a man. I was blessed for having his example to guide me.
