Good morning, America. What about those Houston Astros? As Representative of the 18th Congressional District in the great city of Houston, let me thank the Houston Astros for taking a Harvey- worn community to the highest lengths. We had never won the World Series. Minute Maid is a fine stadium and the L.A. Dodgers were a very fine competitor. Let me thank all of them for the great sportsmanship, the character that was shown. It shows what America is about. You can be two great adversaries on the battlefield of baseball, but you can still be great friends and colleagues and part of the great American pastime. Thank you to the mayor, the county government, the State government, all of those fans out there. Thank you to George Springer and Altuve, who caught the final out. Oh, I was so excited. Congratulations to those southern boys, the boys of the south, the boys of the southwest. They did a great job. Yes, we are the World Series champion, the American League champion. Go, Houston Astros. Mr. Speaker, I thank you for your kindness. I am so excited. They are great young men. ____________________
