                        Thursday, July 14, 2016

  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
honor the Philadelphia Blue Sox, a thirteen-and-under little league 
baseball team from my district who have earned national recognition and 
have won five tournaments just this year with a sterling record of 40 
wins and only 6 losses.
  The team is made up of 14 handpicked players from Philadelphia and 
the surrounding suburbs. The boys are committed and train year round, 
often early in the morning and late into the night, when school and 
their parents allow.
  Thanks to the dedicated leadership of their head coach Michael 
``Zoom'' Zolk, Tom Ditro, and Michael ``Big Zoom'' Zolk, as well some 
help from the Philadelphia Police Department, the hard work and 
dedication of the Blue Sox has translated into an impressive string of 
victories.
  We in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District are proud of this 
exceptional group of young men, and we are eager to see them continue 
to succeed. Go Blue Sox.
