 CONGRATULATING CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY FULLERTON TITANS BASEBALL 
   TEAM ON 2004 NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DIVISION I 
                          COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

                               speech of

                          HON. LORETTA SANCHEZ

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 12, 2004

  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a 
strong supporter and co-sponsor of H. Res. 704--a bill to congratulate 
the California State University, Fullerton Titans baseball team for 
winning the 2004 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I, 
College World Series.
  Many of the Titans' student body live in my district, and they must 
be equally proud of the Orange and Blue.
  The Titans' defeat of the Texas Longhorns, ranked No. 1 in the 
country, was just the latest victory in the school's history of 
overcoming the odds. The Titans have never had the resources of the 
great Big West teams, but they've made up for it in their spirit, drive 
and determination.
  Special kudos go out to Coach George Horton for his third career 
award as Big West Coach of the Year, and to Kurt Suzuki and Jason 
Windsor for being named ``All Americans.''
  Coach Horton and his team have set a high bar for future Titans 
baseball teams, but I'm sure that they will be up to the challenge, in 
the best tradition of Cal State Fullerton athletics.
