I apologize if this has been posted before, but I just ran across it. It sorts the information by which major leaguer went to what college...interesting and fun:

Orlando ...
Thanks. I have never seen that before. It is fun to check out schools and see who went where ... nice to see my son's school has actually had 10 MLB players. (Know it doesn't compare to some alumni stats, but it's better than a kick in the fanny.)

Thanks. That was interesting. Dartmouth had 27 players 
, then I saw that most of them were early 1900's. Oh well, it was still fun.

Nice find!
Just wanted to point out a Mr. Sandy Koufax, from my alma mater, University of Cincinnati. Go Bearcats! (Not much else to brag about baseball-wise.)
Actually, he was there on a basketball scholarship...the JV basketball coach was also the baseball coach and got him to play both. He was only there a year before the Dodgers signed him. We'll still claim him though!

That is interesting. You can really see the North-South division.
Wish they had a year filter in the search. I checked out Brown University and they have had 1 since 1947, even though they had 38 overall.
I would expect an even more pronounced shift to the southern universities if you searched for pro-players since 1950.

Wow-U of MD. top names are Ron Swaboda and are you ready for this? MOONLIGHT GRAHAM!
22 people went to University of Nebraska probably the bst one is Darrin Erstad but I alrdy knew he went to UNL because he was on the husker football team as well.
Great Link!!!!

Thats a cool website I've looked at before but never saw the college links. Thanks. Interesting that Yale has 23 MLB players till I see they played mostly in the 1890's. I guess they were a power "back in the day".
