                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO MAXINE RANDALL

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Maxine 
Randall of Hillsdale, Michigan, who recently passed away at the age of 
92.
  After graduating from North Adams High School in 1948, Max played for 
the Fort Wayne Daisies of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball 
League, which was founded during World War II.
  During her 6 years in the league, Max was named as an all-star five 
times and compiled 116 wins--fifth in league history.
  Decades later, the women's baseball league that Max starred in served 
as a catalyst for the hit movie ``A League of Their Own.''
  Following her pro baseball career, Max worked at Jonesville Products 
for many years, where she met her late husband, Bob.
  As one relative described her, Max was ``salt, grit, and a baseball 
mitt.''
  We send our condolences to the Randall family, and we celebrate an 
inspirational life lived to the fullest.
