                 ATLANTA BRAVES ADVANCE TO WORLD SERIES

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the Atlanta Braves for advancing to the World Series for the first time 
since 1999.
  In a season plagued by injuries, what the Braves have accomplished is 
nothing short of remarkable. On August 1, the Braves had a losing 
record, and things were looking grim. Through much adversity, the 
Braves relied on some unlikely stars to shine in the postseason during 
the month of Joctober.
  What this team has achieved is nothing short of special, and we hope 
to continue shocking the world.
  After caving to the lies of the Democrats, Major League Baseball 
moved the All-Star game out of Atlanta, depriving the community of 
hundreds of millions of dollars. Well, you may be able to move the All-
Star game, but you can't move the World Series, and Truist Park is 
going to be electric.
  In addition to the players, I would also like to congratulate manager 
Brian Snitker and the rest of the coaching staff for the tremendous job 
they did in assembling and guiding this team to the 2021 World Series. 
Go Braves.
