                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 13, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Clint Nageotte of 
the Brooklyn High School baseball team. Clint Nageotte has been playing 
the game he loves from the Little League fields to the fields of 
Brooklyn High School.
  Rewriting the Brooklyn High School records, Clint has proved himself 
as both a remarkable pitcher and outstanding hitter. As a four-year 
letterman, Clint has 25 career victories, 326 strikeouts, 39 home runs, 
and 136 RBIs.
  Leading his conference championship team all the way to their first 
State Final Four playoff in school history, Clint has a hitting average 
of .652 with 19 home runs this year alone. As a pitcher, Clint has an 
outstanding 7-2 record and an impressive 0.75 earned run average. Also 
leading the area, he struck out 119 batters in 56 innings of pitching.
  Clint has been honored by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as The Player of 
the Year. Furthermore, Clint is a recipient of Mike Garcia Award, a 
very prestigious award given by the Cleveland Indians Baseball Club and 
the Wahoo Club. The Seattle Mariners have also chosen Clint in the 
fifth-round draft pick.
  Clint has proved himself both on and off the field as an excellent 
team player and outstanding young man. Recognized both locally and 
nationally, I ask you to please join me in congratulating both Clint 
and his family on a job well done.
