The National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame Monday awarded Schaumburg Boomers owner Patrick A. Salvi the first ever Tommy Lasorda Legends Award for contributions made to the game of baseball.

Salvi, a Chicago trial lawyer, also owns the Gary Southshore Railcats in the American Association and the college wood bat franchise, NorthShore Navigators, near Boston.

Under Salvi's leadership, the Schaumburg Boomers were named Frontier League Organization of the Year in 2013 and went on to win the Frontier League Championship in 2013 and 2014.

"I am thrilled to receive this award from the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame," Salvi said. "As an Italian American I am especially proud to be so honored. Also, I have the highest regard for Tommy Lasorda and the fact that the award is named after him makes it very special."
