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

"I think when you get past your 30th birthday, you get to the point where you realize you only have so many years left. I hope to play a lot longer. But when you understand there are a limited number of years left in your career, winning becomes more important." - Todd Helton in the Denver Post (March 30, 2004)
