A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO JOIN GOVERNOR JIM HODGES IN RECOGNIZING APRIL 24-28, 2000, AS “MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEK” IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO RECOGNIZE THE CONTRIBUTION THAT MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL MAKES TO COMMUNITIES AROUND THE NATION AND SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, minor league baseball brings the spirit and enjoyment of America’s greatest game to local communities;

Whereas, South Carolina has a rich tradition of excellence in minor league baseball; and

Whereas, the people of the Palmetto State enjoy watching local teams whose players are excellent role models for children because they encourage participation in athletics and teach the value of community service; and

Whereas, South Carolina is proud to have watched many great athletes, including future Hall of Famers, begin their career in South Carolina; and

Whereas, the 2000 minor league season promises to excite and entertain as teams and players compete for major league recognition; and

Whereas, five major league teams in the State, including the Charleston Riverdogs, the Charlotte Knights, the Capital City Bombers, the Greenville Braves, and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, give South Carolinians great opportunities to watch America’s favorite pastime. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, joins Governor Jim Hodges in recognizing April 24-28, 2000, as “Minor League Baseball Week” throughout the State and encourages all South Carolinians to enjoy the nation’s favorite pastime throughout the season.
