"His (Pete McBride) twists have a sharp clean break that would fool the majority of leauge batsmen. The slow ball at his comand is just as effective and he combines the two with a pretty change of pace." - Manager William Joyce in the New York Journal (May 8, 1898)

Manhattan College M.L.B. Player Alumnus

Manhattan College's baseball program started in 1863 and Tom Loughran 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 Manhattan College Hall of Fame.

Did you know that there are twenty-seven (27) former Manhattan College players who made it to "the show"? Send corrections or updates to Baseball Almanac.

The Manhattan College nickname — the Jaspars — came from the school's most memorable figure, Brother Jaspar of Mary. The Prefect of Discipline brought the little known sport of baseball to the school in 1863 and served as their first coach ever.
