Bill > HR123

This resolution commends the Fredericksburg Frogs, a popular amateur baseball team that played in the Fredericksburg area from approximately 1919 to 1944, for their significant contributions to local baseball and their crucial role in supporting and developing Black athletes during a time before professional baseball was racially integrated. The resolution highlights the team's popularity, their games against other Black teams including a notable victory against the Negro League's Homestead Grays, their community engagement through fundraisers, and their positive impact on fostering community spirit and providing opportunities for Black athletes to hone their skills and build fellowship. It also acknowledges the recent efforts by the Fredericksburg Nationals, a modern baseball team, to honor the legacy of the Fredericksburg Frogs by unveiling alternate team branding in 2025.
