                     JOSH REDDICK AND MIRACLE FIELD

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Houston Astro's right fielder and a constituent of the First 
Congressional District of Georgia, Mr. Josh Reddick, for his 
contribution to his hometown: the Josh Reddick Stadium.
  Mr. Reddick is a highly successful Major League Baseball player with 
a World Series title and two Defensive Player of the Year Awards.
  But I am proud of Mr. Reddick for continuing to make his community a 
top priority and helping to improve the quality of life for children 
with special needs.
  Last year, he donated $1 million to build the state-of-the-art Josh 
Reddick Baseball Stadium in Effingham County, which is accessible for 
all children, including those with special needs.
  On Saturday, July 21, the stadium officially opened, ready for play.
  Thank you, Mr. Reddick, for your gift to Effingham County and for 
your desire to help all children enjoy the game of baseball. Good luck 
during the rest of this season in the majors.
