H.R. No. 2328
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Rene Vasquez has built a notable career in sports
broadcasting that has spanned three decades; and
WHEREAS, Born in Corpus Christi and raised in Bluebonnet,
Rene Vasquez began announcing little league baseball games at the
age of 10, and several years later, while attending Seale Junior
High School in Robstown, he got his start in radio at the
Bishop-based station KFLZ-FM; there, he assisted in calling both
the 1987 and 1988 University Interscholastic League 4A baseball
state semifinals, which featured his future alma mater, Robstown
High School; and
WHEREAS, In 1989, Mr. Vasquez joined the staff of what is now
Majic 104.9 FM, where he earned the moniker "Locker Room"; in the
years since, he has provided insightful coverage of area high
school baseball, softball, and football teams, a number of whose
student-athletes have gone on to professional careers in sports; he
is also known for his illuminating interviews with such figures as
Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, Houston Astros
president Reid Ryan, and legendary Texas Longhorns coach Cliff
Gustafson; and
WHEREAS, For the past 30 years, this mainstay of the Coastal
Bend airwaves has informed and entertained countless area sports
fans, and he is indeed deserving of special recognition for his many
years of service to South Texas sports; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Rene Vasquez for his exceptional 30-year
career in sports broadcasting and extend to him sincere best wishes
for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Vasquez as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
