                 winning the 2000 College World Series.

Whereas the Louisiana State University baseball team completed the year with 13 
        consecutive wins, with a record of 4-0 in the Southeastern Conference 
        tournament, 3-0 in Subregional action, 2-0 in Super Regional contests 
        and 4-0 in the College World Series, ending its exciting season by 
        defeating the previously undefeated Stanford Cardinals 6-5 on June 17, 
        2000, in Omaha, Nebraska, to win its fifth national championship in 10 
        years;
Whereas Louisiana State University firmly established itself as the dominant 
        college baseball team of the decade, winning the College World Series 
        title in 1991, 1993, 1996, and 1997;
Whereas Louisiana State University finished with a regular season record of 46-
        12 and a team batting average of .341;

        premier players in all of college baseball, leading the nation by 
        hitting a total of 30 home runs in 2000;
Whereas Louisiana State University's senior right-handed pitcher, Trey Hodges, 
        who earned the Most Outstanding Player Award of the College World 
        Series, gave up just 2 hits and 1 walk in 4 innings while striking out 4 
        batters in his second victory of the College World Series, personifying 
        the persistence and competitiveness that carried Louisiana State 
        University throughout the year;
Whereas Louisiana State University's coach, Skip Bertman, named The Collegiate 
        Baseball Newspaper's National Coach of The Year, has never allowed the 
        Tigers to lose a College World Series championship game;
Whereas Coach Skip Bertman has instilled in his players unceasing dedication and 
        teamwork, and has inspired in the rest of us an appreciation for what it 
        means to win with dignity, integrity, and true sportsmanship;
Whereas Louisiana State University's thrilling victory in the College World 
        Series championship game enraptured their loyal and loving fans from 
        Baton Rouge to Shreveport, taking ``Tigermania'' to new heights and 
        filling the people of Louisiana with an overwhelming sense of pride, 
        honor, and community; and
Whereas Louisiana State University's national championship spotlights one of the 
        nation's premier State universities, which is committed to academic and 
        athletic excellence: Now, therefore, be it
