   CONGRATULATING SAMUEL NELSON GREENWOOD ON HIS INDUCTION INTO THE 
                   VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY HALL OF FAME

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL E. CAPUANO

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 12, 2002

  Mr. CAPUANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Samuel Nelson 
Greenwood upon his induction into to the Villanova University Hall of 
Fame. He was a premier college athlete who achieved a great deal during 
his athletic career.
  Mr. Greenwood is a 1963 graduate of Somerville High School in 
Somerville, Massachusetts. He ranked second in his class for 
scholastics. In addition to his academic accomplishments, Mr. Greenwood 
was an accomplished baseball player. In fact, the Boston Red Sox 
drafted Mr. Greenwood after graduation, but he chose, instead, to 
accept a full four-year scholarship to Villanova University.
  Mr. Greenwood played baseball for three years at Villanova 
University, playing primarily in center field. During his senior year, 
Mr. Greenwood was the captain of the university's baseball team. In 
1967, he graduated from Villanova with a degree in Education.
  Mr. Greenwood's baseball career continued when he was drafted by the 
Cincinnati Reds to play first base and center field. He was a member of 
the Reds for three years.
  It is unusual for someone to get accepted into the Villanova 
University Hall of Fame the first time they are nominated. Mr. 
Greenwood will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on November 1, 2002, 
the first year that his candidacy was considered.
  I offer my congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Greenwood.
