R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Bellaire Little League celebrated the 70th
anniversary of its founding as part of its 2023 opening day
ceremonies on March 4; and
WHEREAS, Each spring, hundreds of young athletes ages 4 to 12
join the league's baseball teams; participants on each of the 52
ballclubs learn the fundamentals of the sport as well as important
values such as loyalty, dedication, teamwork, and good
sportsmanship; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, Bellaire Little League has enjoyed
an outstanding record of achievement; a BLL team from 2000 was
crowned national champion at the Little League World Series, a feat
commemorated on the Bellaire water tower; and
WHEREAS, This community-based, volunteer-powered
organization has benefited from the contributions of numerous area
residents since it was first established; today, that tradition of
service is being carried on by the league's board of directors under
the leadership of current president Sam Dagley, as well the many
other individuals who donate their time and talents to make BLL a
success; and
WHEREAS, By providing young people of all skill levels with a
valuable recreational outlet and introducing them to the
character-building opportunities presented by athletic
competition, Bellaire Little League has made an important and
positive difference in the lives of countless young Texans; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 70th anniversary of Bellaire
Little League and extend to all those associated with the league
sincere appreciation for their efforts; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the league as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
