“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the players, coaches, and staff of the State College Spikes on their 2-1 win over Hudson Valley last night to capture the New York-Penn League Championship. The New York-Penn League is a Class A Short Season baseball league which includes teams from across Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, Vermont, West Virginia, and Connecticut. The championship represents the end of a great season for State College. The team set a regular season club record for wins at 50. Tommy Edman, a draft pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in June, also set the Spikes' single season runs scored record with 61. Earlier this year, I had the chance to meet with the members of the Spikes' management in my office here in Washington, D.C., and I was happy to have the opportunity to learn more about the organization and their players. I know how much the team contributes to the community and to the economy of State College. I wish them the best of success next year. ____________________”
