Bill > HR278

This resolution commends Leo Mazzone, a renowned Major League Baseball pitching coach, for his upcoming induction into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 2025. Mazzone, who served as the Atlanta Braves' pitching coach from 1990 to 2005, is recognized for his extraordinary contributions to baseball, including mentoring Hall of Fame pitchers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz during a period when the Braves won 14 consecutive division titles and the 1995 World Series. The resolution highlights Mazzone's innovative coaching methods, particularly his emphasis on frequent throwing between starts, which revolutionized pitcher preparation and earned him widespread respect in the baseball community. Having already been inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame in 2022, Mazzone is now being celebrated by the Georgia House of Representatives, which officially congratulates him on his upcoming Hall of Fame honor and wishes him continued health and happiness. The resolution also directs the House Clerk to provide Mazzone with an official copy of the document.
