Mr. Speaker, Quebec City's baseball team, the Capitales, are the champions for the second straight season. They beat out the Evansville Otters to win the Frontier League championship.
Once again, baseball fans turned out in droves, breaking the attendance record with a season total of 166,916. The team could not have secured its ninth title in its 24-year history without the talent and hard work of the players and the entire organization, who brought us some magical baseball moments.
I would particularly like to acknowledge the incredible work of manager Patrick Scalabrini and president Michel Laplante.
I would also like to take this opportunity to say happy retirement to Quebec City's own David Glaude, who hit a home run late in the game, scoring three runs.
I would like to congratulate the whole team and the entire organization. Once again, I want to thank them for making us so proud.
