Norwich University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"Arlie graduated from Rutland High School in 1888 and spent two years at Norwich University where he distinguished himself as a musician and as pitcher of the baseball team. In 1890 he transferred to the University of Vermont. As an 'academic' at UVM Pond was a member of the glee and banjo club, and he also played one season of varsity football during his senior year of 1893. But he earned his greatest fame as a baseball player." - Historian Tom Simon (Green Mountain Boys of Summer: Vermonters in the Major Leagues 1882-1993, Tom Simon, 2000)

The Norwich University baseball program started in 1885 and Arlie Pond was their first player to make it to the Major League level. Two months later Ed Doheny (who attended Norwich University in 1895) made it to "the show", but was not a member of the Cadets' baseball team.

Norwich University is the oldest private military college in the United States and is recognized by the United States Department of Defense as the "Birthplace of ROTC" (Reserve Officers' Training Corps).

Did you know that there are two former Norwich University players who made it to the show? Send corrections or updates to Baseball Almanac.
