They defeated the Baltimore Orioles. Mr. Speaker, there are some denizens of this area. Indeed, as we look at the Speaker pro tempore, Mr. Gilchrest, tonight and realize that he hails from the great State of Maryland, that may be something that he would rather forget, but knowing it was the year of the Miracle Mets and sadly, ironically, the last year of what should be commonplace instead of miraculous, and that is a balanced budget.
