This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on November 30, 2009
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER:

I stand today to congratulate fifteen-year-old William Rose of Shearstown on being named tournament top batter at the Atlantic Bantam AA Baseball Championships earlier this year.  

William was a member of the Spaniard’s Bay Bantam AA Pirates this summer.  After winning the provincial championship in Corner Brook , the Pirates went on to represent the Province at the Atlantic tournament.  During the provincial championships, William Rose won three of the possible five individual awards.  He went on to win the top batter award with an average of 538 at the Atlantic championships which were held in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.  A very quiet and mannerly individual, he is not only a credit to his team but to the community that he represents.  

Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join with his family and many friends in wishing William Rose every success as he continues with the sport he truly loves.  

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
