               CLEVELAND SHINES AS HOST OF ALL-STAR GAME

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate my city, Cleveland, 
OH, for its outstanding debut as America's All-Star city last night 
when the American League beat the National League 3 to 1 at Cleveland's 
Jacobs Field.
  The All-Star victory was brought about through a dramatic two-run 
home run by Cleveland Indian Sandy Alomar, who was named the game's 
most valuable player. The midsummer night's classic showed Cleveland at 
its best, an All-Star city, a still-shining new Jacobs Field, the most 
enthusiastic fans anywhere, a first-rate, first-place team, the most 
valuable players.
  When Sandy Alomar hit a home run to win the All-Star Game, he showed 
that Cleveland hits a home run every time it steps up to the plate 
nationally. Baseball, what a sport. The All-Star Game, what a game. 
Cleveland, what a city.
