 SALUTING THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FULLERTON TITANS IN COLLEGE

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 29, 2006

  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take 
a moment and congratulate the Cal State Fullerton Titans' baseball team 
for their remarkable season and outstanding run at the College World 
Series title.
  Cal State Fullerton made the journey to Omaha for the 14th time in 
the program's 32-year Division I history. The Titans hold four past 
College World Series Championships (1979, 1984, 1995, and 2004) and for 
the first time since 1995, they entered the College World Series 
undefeated in NCAA Tournament play by sweeping regional and super-
regional play.
  Although the Titans did not win the College World Series, their sweat 
and hard work paid off, as they had three players, Justin Turner, Danny 
Dorn and David Cooper represented on the 60th NCAA College World Series 
All-Tournament Team.
  The Titans finished their remarkable season with a winning record of 
50-15 and had nine players drafted in this year's Major League Baseball 
First-Year Player Draft, which is an incredible accomplishment.
  I admire the hard work and efforts of these young men after a long 
and competitive season. It is not an easy task to make it to the 
College World Series. The city of Fullerton and the State of California 
are very proud of your efforts.
  Congratulations to head coach George Horton, assistant coaches Rick 
Vanderhook, Jason Gill, Ted Silva, the Titan baseball players, and all 
the Titan fans on a great season. Remember the Titans! Next year will 
be our year!
