                 LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM FROM HUMBOLDT PARK

  (Mr. GARCIA of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I would like to, today, 
recognize the historic feat from a team of boys aged 11 to 13 in my 
district.
  The Roberto Clemente Little League of Humboldt Park in Chicago made 
history on Monday, July 15, by becoming Illinois champions and 
advancing to the regionals. They are the first Little League team from 
Humboldt Park to ever qualify and represent the city and the State of 
Illinois. It is exciting to know that these kids have a real chance of 
making it to the Little League World Series.
  As a father, grandfather, and an avid baseball fan, their achievement 
makes me extremely proud. They are showing us the power of sports and 
community, and I would like to congratulate them, their coaches, and 
their families, for their determination.
  The Roberto Clemente Little League of Humboldt Park is bringing a lot 
of joy and pride to the Fourth Congressional District and the State of 
Illinois, and they are just getting started.
  Go Roberto Clemente Little Leaguers.
