         CONGRATULATING THE WORLD SERIES CHAMPION TEXAS RANGERS

  (Ms. CROCKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CROCKETT. Mr. Speaker, they say that everything is bigger in 
Texas, and that includes our pride for our very first World Series win. 
Yes, I also rise to celebrate the World Series champions, the Texas 
Rangers.
  On Wednesday, the Rangers clinched their first World Series win 
against the Arizona Diamondbacks. I don't mean to rub it in the face of 
my colleagues from the Grand Canyon State, but we warned you we could--
and we would--come and take it.
  This week our Rangers went and took it.
  I was lucky enough to represent north Texas as the first Black 
Democratic woman to play in the Congressional Baseball Game this year. 
While I may not have the arm of Josh Sborz or the speed of two-time MVP 
Corey Seager, you best believe our Rangers have inspired me to score 
some runs next year.
  While this may be our first World Series win, mark my words, it will 
not be our last.
