                 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS--ATLANTA BRAVES

  Mrs. McBATH. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of an event 26 years in 
the making. This week, Georgia, and the entire nation, watched as our 
Atlanta Braves shut out the Houston Astros in Game 6, clinching the 
World Series for Atlanta for the first time in decades.
  I am so proud of this team. They fought through adversity, carrying a 
losing record until August 6th. They overcame injuries and fought hard 
for their teammates whose season ended early. Every part of the Atlanta 
Braves organization deserves credit for this win: from the players, to 
the management, and the front office staff that still believed in this 
team when so many others might have given up. I am thrilled for every 
player and every fan who has dreamed of this moment for over two 
decades.
  The odds were against us, but to paraphrase the words of Joc 
Pederson, ``We just might be those World Series Champs.''
