TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE REMARKABLE ALLEN UNIVERSITY BASEBALL TEAM, WHICH CAPTURED THE 1960 SOUTHERN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY AGO, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE ALUMNI OF THAT ILLUSTRIOUS TEAM.
Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to remember and celebrate the members of the Allen University baseball team for taking top honors at the 1960 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) championship series; and
Whereas, closing the 1960 baseball season with an unmatched 23-2 record, the Allen University team defeated such teams as Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical, and South Carolina State University before winning the SIAC championship; and
Whereas, James Greene, Allen University class of 1963 and pitcher of the 1960 championship team, was recently inducted into the Class of 2012 Athletic Hall of Fame; and
Whereas, two other alumni of the 1960 SIAC championship baseball team and 1963 graduates of Allen University, Glen Davis and Mathis Daniel, are marking their golden homecoming at the school; and
Whereas, in a sport that demanded skill, strength, and strategy, these fine athletes capitalized on their athletic ability to forge a championship team, learning lessons that have proved invaluable through life both on and off the diamond; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that the Allen University baseball players brought to Allen University and to the Palmetto State with their 1960 SIAC championship and are grateful for the lifetime they have spent representing their alma mater and State with excellence. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
