Howard University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"[Black players] always had to stay in private homes on the road, but I'll tell you what kind of teammates I had in Durham — they wouldn't go and eat in a restaurant without me. Somebody would always go in and get sandwiches for everybody, then they'd bring them to the bus and we'd go on our way." - Bubba Morton in The Seattle Times (Larry Stone, 01/18/2006, 'Former UW coach Morton dies at 74')
