                                                     December 17, 2007.
Whereas on October 15, 2007, the Colorado Rockies completed a remarkable 21 out 
        of 22 game-winning streak, with a 4-game sweep of the Arizona 
        Diamondbacks, and won the 2007 National League Championship series;
Whereas the Colorado Rockies then played in the franchise's first World Series 
        against the Boston Red Sox;
Whereas the Colorado Rockies demonstrated remarkable team unity, as well as 
        individual initiative and personal determination, and serve as a prime 
        example of good sportsmanship;
Whereas the Colorado Rockies fans demonstrated their passion for their team, 
        their love of baseball, and their character as some of the world's 
        greatest baseball enthusiasts; and
Whereas the city of Denver and the State of Colorado exhibited their ability to 
        host a fantastic Major League Baseball post-season: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates--
