“I rise to honor a Pittsburgh Pirates legend, Mr. Vern Law, who was inducted into the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame this summer. I had the chance to join Mr. Law for this momentous ceremony in Pittsburgh. Mr. Law was a key member of the Pirates 1960 World Series championship team, and he spent all 16 seasons of his Major League career in Pittsburgh. He was also a two-time All-Star and a Cy Young Award winner. Off the field, faith was incredibly important to Mr. Law. He became a deacon in the Church of Latter-day Saints, a title he first earned at the age of 12 years old. He later became a teacher and was then ordained as a priest at age 17. For 73 years, Mr. Law was married to his wife, VaNita, who passed away in 2023. At age 95, Vern Law's legacy on and off the baseball field is etched in western Pennsylvania history forever.”
