                   CONGRATULATING LOS ANGELES DODGERS

  (Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the World 
Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
  Last month, to most baseball fans' delight, our Dodgers completed a 
gentleman's sweep to defeat the New York Yankees in the World Series.
  This season was nothing short of remarkable.
  Shohei Ohtani's contract broke records, and he continued to break 
more in the Dodger blue.
  Ohtani became the first MLB player to record at least 50 home runs 
and 50 steals in a season and broke Shawn Green's team home run record.
  Just wait until he can pitch for us.
  From Ohtani and Freddie Freeman playing through injuries to Walker 
Buehler's improbable return, this team battled and defied the odds to 
make history.
  We are celebrating this team from L.A. to Korea to the Dominican 
Republic to Japan.
  Haters can talk trash all they want, but there is no COVID season 
asterisk next to this one.
  The L.A. Dodgers are your World Series champions, and we will run it 
back next year.
