<br />Mr. Mark Haley, Manager, South Bend Silver Hawks, thanked the Council for this honor.
<br />Mr. Haley stated that most people don’t know the history of the Arizona Diamondbacks
<br />and their history in baseball. They won the World Series, of course they had those two
<br />pitchers, one right hander and one left hander, but they have won a World Series since
<br />they have started their organization of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Arizona
<br />Diamondbacks have never won a full season Minor League Championship until now.
<br />This is their first one and a very special win for the owners of the Arizona
<br />Diamondbacks. Recently people have called him to say that they were at a game
<br />recently, and fourteen (14) players from the Silver Hawks Team walked onto the field in
