“I accept the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia's--my dear friend--challenge. While I congratulate the historic once-in-a-century-win of the Nationals, let me be very clear: The Houston Astros have won the most games of any of the Major League Baseball teams. Let me thank the owner and management, but also the team, the unifying team, the team that does not have one icon, one star, but all of them are stars. Let me thank them for the great work they do in charity throughout our community helping our young people. Madam Speaker, might I take you down memory lane, when the Astros-- can you imagine that late-night game on Saturday night when you thought there was not any hope and there was going to be another game with the Astros and the Yankees? But what happened? My friend, Altuve--what happened? You didn't even see the ball go. He hit a home run and two came in. I know this is going to be a great game, and the new world champions of baseball will be the Houston Astros. Go `Stros. Go Astros. I accept, Madam Speaker, and if we win, she will wear this shirt with her staff. ____________________”
