Former Texas Rangers catcher Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez will be in the Texas House of Representatives Tuesday.
Don’t worry, the beloved player isn’t venturing into politics.
But he will be honored with a resolution honoring his upcoming induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, courtesy of state Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford.
“It is an extreme privilege to honor a legend like Pudge Rodriguez for his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame from the House floor,” said Stickland, a lifelong Rangers fan who has decorated his Capitol office with baseball cards and memorabilia he has collected through the years.
