            WISHING ATLANTA BRAVES GOOD LUCK IN WORLD SERIES

  (Ms. BOURDEAUX asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BOURDEAUX. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
tremendous achievement of the Atlanta Braves and wish them good luck in 
their first World Series since 1999.
  The story of the 2021 Braves is one of resiliency. The team lost two 
of their stars--Ronald Acuna, Jr., and Mike Soroka--to injuries early 
this season.
  Despite these setbacks, the Braves persevered and won the National 
League's Eastern Division title for the fourth year in a row.
  The Braves have been underdogs in each of their playoff series, but 
thanks to big performances by players such as Eddie Rosario, whose 14 
hits against the Dodgers tied the record for the most hits in a single 
series, tonight, they will take the field to compete in the World 
Series.
  Many of the players on the Braves' roster honed their skills in 
Georgia's Seventh District, playing for the Gwinnett Stripers, the 
Braves' Triple-A affiliate in Lawrenceville.
  The 2021 Atlanta Braves embody the never-quit spirit of the State of 
Georgia, and I wish them good luck as they begin the World Series 
tonight.
  My family, staff, and people of Seventh District are cheering you on. 
Go Braves.
