Fordham University M.L.B. Player Alumnus



The Fordham University baseball program started in 1841, when it was still called St. John's College, and Pete Treacey was their first player to make it to the Major League level. Seventy two years later they changed their name to Fordham University and under the new school name Larry Kopf became their first player.
