Best college baseball team

Best college baseball team

Coastal Carolina TshirtWho would’ve thunk? That the best collegiate baseball team in the nation would be from right here in the Myrtle Beach area.

Well baseball “sports fans”, it’s true. The Coastal Carolina University Chanticleers, a Division I collegiate baseball team, just won their 42nd game this year and are ranked 4th in the nation. This takes their season record to 42-6 and 20-0 in the Big South Conference.

40 wins is no fluke season, the Chanticleers have won at least 40 games in a season nine out of the last ten seasons. The 2005, 2007 and 2008 season saw the Chanticleers win 50 games. This baseball team is for real.

Congrats to the 2010 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Baseball Team! Continued success for the remainder of the 2010 season.

Myrtle Beach Pelicans Class A Advanced Affiliate Atlanta Braves

Myrtle Beach Pelicans Class A Advanced Affiliate Atlanta Braves

Professional baseball came to Myrtle Beach in 1999, when the Atlanta Braves picked Myrtle Beach to host their Class A Advanced affiliate member of the Carolina League. With a beautiful new stadium, adoring fans, the backing of “America’s Team” the Atlanta Braves and a town that was just itching for a winner, the Pelican’s were a natural fit.

BB&T Coastal Field is a beautiful natural grass stadium with seating for 5,200 fans and can be expanded to house 6,000 fans. The ballpark is conveniently located in Myrtle Beach on 21st Avenue North, just across the street from Broadway at the Beach.

The Pelicans did not disappoint their first year. Advancing all the way to the League Championship, only to be denied the opportunity by mother nature. Hurricane Floyd abruptly ending the 1999 season with the Pelicans being crowned Co-Champions. Several noteable players emerged from that first year’s team. 2B Marcus Giles won the league MVP award and also led the Carolina league in batting average (.326), hits (162) and doubles (40). SS Rafael Furcal amazed the Pelican faithful by hitting over .400 for the first month that he played in Myrtle Beach. Furcal won a promotion in 2000 to “the show” and promptly won Rookie Of The Year.

Some former Myrtle Beach Pelicans who have made it to “The Show” include: Jeff Francoeur, Rafael Furcal, Brian McCann, Adam LaRoche, Adam Wainwright, Tommy Hanson, Yunel Escobar and Kelly Johnson just to name a few. Myrtle Beach is a favorite rehab stop for Braves players who are working their game back into shape before rejoining the major league team. Many of the players bring their families here during their rehab assignment to enjoy all the area has to offer.
