Hamline University's baseball program started in 1891 and Lew Drill was their first player to make it to the Major League level. Names that appear on the chart above in bold print are in the Hamline University Hall of Fame.
Former Piper Howie Schultz is in the Hamline University Hall of Fame (as indicted by his bold entry), but not because of his one season of baseball. Schultz was part of the university's run of NAIB National Championships:
"The 1930s brought about more success with the addition of legendary coach Joe Hutton. While at Hamline, Huttn coached both football and basketball, but he put Hamline on the map with his ability of coaching on the hardwood. Hutton won NAIB National Championships in 1942, 1949, and 1952 with the likes of NBA Hall of Famer Vern Mikkelsen, former Brooklyn Dodger and pro basketball player Howie Schultz, and five other players who went on to professional careers. In all, Hutton posted a record of 588-186 in 35 seasons as head coach. He won or shared 19 conference titles. At the time of his retirement, Hutton was sixth all-time among the nation’s collegiate basketball coaches in games won."
