  Congratulating the Colorado Rockies on winning the National League 
           Championship and playing in the 2007 World Series.

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--
                    (A) the Colorado Rockies on winning the 2007 
                National League Championship and advancing to the 2007 
                World Series;
                    (B) the players, manager, coaches, support staff, 
                ownership, and executives whose commitment to the game 
                made this all possible; and
                    (C) the Boston Red Sox for their extraordinary 
                success in winning the 2007 World Series; and
            (2) directs the Enrolling Clerk of the House of 
        Repesentatives to transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution 
        to--
                    (A) the 2007 Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox 
                baseball teams;
                    (B) Colorado Rockies manager Clint Hurdle; and
                    (C) Colorado Baseball Partnership's chief executive 
                officer and chairman Charlie Monfort.
