                     Wednesday, September 11, 2002

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, let me take this means to congratulate and 
pay tribute to the Blue Springs Indians baseball team of Blue Springs, 
MO. These young players have distinguished themselves, the Blue Springs 
community and the State of Missouri with outstanding conduct on and off 
the field.
  The Blue Springs Indians are the #1 baseball team in Missouri in the 
8 years old and under USSSA Missouri League. The team managed this feat 
by winning the Missouri State Championship Tournament. The Indians 
finished 11th in the World Series and are ranked #15 in the nation.
  The Blue Springs Indians are Taylor ``Tator Tot'' Cross, Luke 
``Biscuit'' Crabb, Cole ``Little Man'' Erwin, Nate ``Bear'' Goff, Nick 
``G-Man'' Gulotta, Gehrig ``Lou'' Hudson, Landon ``Boot'' Mason, Steven 
``Sully'' Sullivan, Logan ``Mowgs'' Taylor, Brett ``T-Rex'' Valentine, 
Trevor ``T-Bone'' Wescott, and Andrew ``Action'' Wright.
  Mr. Speaker, these young ball players have played a wonderful season 
of baseball and have made their friends and family proud. I am certain 
that my colleagues will join me in wishing the Blue Springs Indians all 
the best.
