A legendary Pittsburgh Pirates manager was recognized on the House floor yesterday by Congressman Jason Almire.

Congressman Altmire paid tribute to Chuck Tanner, who managed the team through its 1979 World Series Championship, making players like Willie Stargell and Kent Tekulve into household names. Altmire also honored Tanner's tenure of more than three decades in professional baseball, as well as his hometown of New Castle, where he died one week ago today at the age of 82.

A public viewing was held Tuesday for Tanner, and he was laid to rest in a private funeral service the following day.
