Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend and congratulate the Texas Rangers on their historic first World Series championship. They brought the trophy home to Arlington, Texas, and the Rangers managed to overcome a 6-year playoff drought and two prior World Series losses to bring the trophy home.

They have a great front office, a great manager, and a great owner that put together the winning combination that allowed them to be able to hoist the Commissioner's Trophy this week and also set records of the most RBI's and doubles in a single post-season game.

They had to overcome a lot. They had injuries, they lost their last regular season game, and they had a commentator in the booth that seemed to be rooting against them. Nonetheless, they stayed focused, and it helped the Rangers cement the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area as one of the few regions in the United States where all four major sports franchises have won a championship.

From their humble beginnings through heartbreak and defeat to the World Series champions, the Rangers have brought joy to everyone in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area.

Congratulations again to the Texas Rangers, 2023 World Series champions.
