RE: Saluting Bob Welch, Winner of the 1990 American League CY Young Award

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Bob Welch, in his 11 years as a major league starting
pitcher, has won many honors and was recently named the American League's 1990
CY Young Award winner after chaulking up 27 victories this past season for the
Oakland Athletics; and
WHEREAS, Welch was born and raised in Oakland County where he
starred in baseball at Hazel Park High School and later went on to Eastern
Michigan University, where he established himself as an outstanding pitcher;
and
WHEREAS, after brief associations in the minor leagues at San
Antonio and Albuquerque, Welch was called up to the Los Angeles Dodgers in
1979 where he stayed and enjoyed great success until being traded to Oakland
in 1988; and
WHEREAS, things were not always smooth for this year's Cy Young
Award winner, but he was successful in overcoming a career-threatening
drinking problem a few year's ago and is now a recovering alcoholic, eager to
help others who are experiencing such a problem; and
WHEREAS, Bob Welch, his Wife, Mary Ellen, and sons, Dillon and
Riley, now make their home in San Francisco but they maintain strong ties to
Oakland County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners salutes Bob Welch as this year's Cy Young Award winner, the
ultimate goal of all major league pitchers.
