A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 17 AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA - NORTH CAROLINA STATE LINE, AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 701 AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA - NORTH CAROLINA STATE LINE, AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 701 AND THE HORRY-GEORGETOWN COUNTY LINE, ALONG UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 501 IN GALIVANTS FERRY, AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 378 AND THE HORRY - MARION COUNTY LINE, AND AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 905 AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA - NORTH CAROLINA LINE THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "HOME OF THE 2016 NATIONAL BASEBALL CHAMPIONS COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CHANTICLEERS".

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is pleased that the Coastal Carolina University baseball team, the pride of the entire Palmetto State, won the 2016 College World Series (CWS), which was played in Omaha, Nebraska, from June 18-30, 2016; and

Whereas, led by Head Coach Gary Gilmore, Coastal Carolina took home its first CWS trophy with a 4-3 victory over the University of Arizona in the third and deciding game of the championship series between the Chanticleers and the Wildcats on June 30, 2016; and

Whereas, Gary Gilmore, head coach for the past twenty-one seasons, ushered the Chanticleers from their infancy in Division I to a national title-clinching victory at the end of the longest CWS ever: seventeen games over thirteen days, ending some seven hours before the calendar flipped to July and Coastal Carolina left the Big South for the Sun Belt Conference. In grabbing this title, the Chanticleers accomplished a once-unthinkable feat; and

Whereas, Coastal Carolina fans proved their support for these athletes by making a good showing at the title game to cheer them on, in spite of short notice on a delayed game date brought on by inclement weather. The Chants' admirers were part of the crowd of 18,823 who attended the title game, and they helped power their baseball team to its historic first national championship in any sport; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to honor the 2016 national baseball championship team and its coaches and staff by having signs placed at various locations that inform the public of this awesome athletic accomplishment. Now, therefore,

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

That the South Carolina General Assembly request the Department of Transportation erect appropriate markers or signs at the intersection of United States Highway 17 and the South Carolina - North Carolina state line, at the intersection of United States Highway 701 and the South Carolina - North Carolina state line, at the intersection of United States Highway 701 and the Horry-Georgetown county line, along United States Highway 501 in Galivants Ferry, at the intersection of United States Highway 378 and the Horry - Marion county line, and at the intersection of South Carolina Highway 905 and the South Carolina - North Carolina line that contain the words "Home of the 2016 National Baseball Champions Coastal Carolina University Chanticleers".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
