Whereas, the Columbia Mets capped the 1991 season by winning the South Atlantic League Championship; and
Whereas, the Mets finished the regular season winning the last twelve of their final fourteen games; and
Whereas, they led the South Atlantic League with a season batting average of .265 and with a 2.92 earned run average were only second to Charleston; and
Whereas, they won the first half South Atlantic League Southern Division title with a 47-24 record; and
Whereas, after defeating the Macon Braves for the second half division title in two games in a best of three series, they faced the Charleston Wheelers, an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds; and
Whereas, the Mets swept the League championship by shutting out the Wheelers with a 3-0 in the best of five series; and
Whereas, this is the second time the Mets have taken the League title, with their first championship in 1986 when they defeated the Asheville Tourists, a Houston affiliate; and
Whereas, since 1983, their inaugural season, the Columbia Mets have provided South Carolina residents, and especially the Midlands, with high caliber, exciting baseball; wholesome and enjoyable entertainment for families and fans of all ages; and
Whereas, it is fitting for the General Assembly to congratulate the Columbia Mets for their outstanding season. Now, therefore,
