The Stars Shine at The Caravelle Resort!

Get your peanuts!  Get your popcorn! 

More baseball excitement was in the air earlier this week in Myrtle Beach and at The Caravelle as the best of the Carolina League squared off against the best of the California League in a single A minor league baseball all star game at BB&T Coastal Field, the home park of our own Myrtle Beach Pelicans, affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.  The Caravelle was selected as the host resort of the event, and we were honored to play host to baseball's stars of tomorrow, as well as many of the coaches, staff and investors of our home town Pelicans.   There was quite a buzz started when it was discovered that one investor of the ownership group in particular was here with us - NFL great and Heisman Trophy winner, Eddie George.

The game was played this past Tuesday, and the Carolina League All Stars came out victorious with a 3-1 victory, that was highlighted by a late RBI single by Pelicans shortstop Brandon Hicks.  Most importantly, the Pelicans management and staff put on a jaw dropping, action packed event that amazed all of the fans and baseball officials in attendance.  With a BB&T Coastal Field record crowd of over 6500 fans in attendance, entertainment ranged from a special appearance and ceremonial first pitch thrown out by Vanna White, an incredible post game firework show, an appearance by super-mascot Reggy, and of course top level baseball.

This was truly a thrilling event to be a part of, and we look forward to watching the Pelicans in the second half of the season as they pursue the Carolina League crown!
