The Florida Gators on Tuesday night became just the fourth team in the modern era to win national championships in football, basketball and baseball. Florida baseball clinched that honor with a 6-1 win over the LSU Tigers in the 2017 College World Series Championship Series.
The victory led to a fury of tweets and social media postings by former Gators athletes and current coaches. Check them all out below.
What a team effort!! Happy for all the players, staff, and #gatornation. Well deserved for a staff that gets outworked by none @GatorsBB
