       HONORING RAYMOND MILLER, MANAGER OF THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 2, 1998

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man whose love 
for baseball inspires us all. ``Rapid'' Raymond Miller, the 13th 
manager of the Baltimore Orioles, has just completed his first full 
season managing. Mr. Miller is a man whose talent and great love of 
baseball span more than 30 years.
  Throughout his entire career Mr. Miller has had many accomplishments. 
A minor league baseball pitcher for ten years, 18 years as a major 
league pitching coach and manager of the Minnesota Twins are all 
experiences that have qualified him to lead the Baltimore Orioles. His 
career has taken him from his beginnings with a minor league team in 
San Francisco to coaching a team that won the World Series.
  Most of Mr. Miller's career has been spent as a pitching coach in 
which he has demonstrated tremendous success. Under his direction, not 
only did three players receive the Cy Young Award, but he also coached 
seven different 20-game winners. As the 1998 season came to a close, 
Mr. Miller demonstrated the same enthusiasm and promise as manager of 
the Baltimore Orioles that he has shown throughout his career.
  Mr. Miller has made baseball fans from Ohio's 18th Congressional 
district very proud. With all of Mr. Miller's continued success, he has 
never forgotten the area from where he came. He and his wife continue 
to reside in New Athens, Ohio.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my colleagues join me in 
congratulating and wishing continued future success to a man I am proud 
to call my constituent, Mr. Raymond Miller.
