“as a fellow Commodore, I would like to congratulate the Vanderbilt University baseball team on winning the College World Series and bringing home Vanderbilt's first men's national championship. Tim Corbin, Vanderbilt's outstanding coach who has been named National Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball, is to be commended for his exceptional leadership and determination throughout the entire season. This was a hard-fought win, and I am so proud of the perseverance and tenacity of Coach Corbin and these young men. Vanderbilt is a very special university, one that produces student- athletes of exceptional character, integrity, and pride in themselves and their school. It is a privilege to be a home-State alumnus of a university that continues to embrace these values while also encouraging its students to excel in both academics and athletics. I am filled with pride today for my alma mater, and I wish the baseball team and all of Vanderbilt University the best. This achievement would not have been possible without the skill, determination and teamwork of the following outstanding student- athletes: Tyler Beede, Ben Bowden, Walker Buehler, Tyler Campbell, Ro Coleman, Vince Conde, Will Cooper, Jason Delay, Karl Ellison, Tyler Ferguson, Carson Fulmer, Tyler Green, Chris Harvey, Ryan Johnson, John Kilichowski, Aubrey McCarty, Brian Miller, Jared Miller, Penn Murfee, John Norwood, Drake Parker, T.J.…”
