Sammy Sosa's 66 Home Run Season by Baseball Almanac

Lehigh University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive chart of every Lehigh University alumnus who played baseball at Lehigh University AND made it to the Major League level.

"The name Craig was unlucky with the early Mets. Anderson lost 16 straight with the original 1962 team and 19 in a row over three years. In NL history, the latter streak was rivaled only by teammate Roger Craig's 18 straight defeats in 1963." - Professor Jane Charnin-Aker on BaseballLibrary.com
