  Mr. ROKITA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate, 
Trinity Ballpark located in Noblesville, Indiana, for hosting this 
year's C.A.B.A. Midwest National Championship.
  The Continental Amateur Baseball Association was developed by Ron 
Golden and Roger Tremaine in 1984 to provide youth the privilege to 
compete at the national level. C.A.B.A. hosts events at the national 
level for age groups 9-18. Since C.A.B.A. was first started, thousands 
of teams from nearly every state along with other countries including 
Panama, Guam, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Japan, and Canada 
have participated in C.A.B.A. Current Major League Baseball Stars, Alex 
Rodriguez and Todd Helton, were both Graduates of the Year of this 
superior organization.
  I am proud to honor Trinity Ballpark for hosting this year's Midwest 
National Championship, and wish all the players the best of luck in the 
tournament. Today is a fine day to celebrate America's favorite pastime 
with elite players from all over the country.
