                 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BOSTON RED SOX

  (Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind all 
Americans that we should pay our debts.
  I stand here today to pay a debt for a friendly wager I made with my 
colleague Joe Kennedy, and I rise to offer my congratulations to the 
Boston Red Sox for winning the World Series. The Red Sox overcame a 2-1 
series lead and rattled off three straight victories to capture the 
2013 championship.
  I certainly think that the Boston Red Sox showed the St. Louis 
Cardinals and the rest of the world why they are deserving of the 
slogan ``Boston Strong.''
  However, I hope that this series win will forever erase the curse of 
the Bambino. Yes, Red Sox fans, no more excuses for losing.
