Debut / Box

Oklahoma State University M.L.B. Player Alumnus
Bold Names=OSU Hall of Fame



The Oklahoma State University baseball program started in 1909 and Josh Billings 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 Oklahoma State University Hall of Fame.

Oklahoma State University's (OSU) baseball program has had its ups & downs over the years and the school itself changed their name once, but their fight song has remained a constant:

Ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride 'em Cowboys, down the field

Fight, fight, fight, fight

Fight 'em Cowboys, and never yield

Ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride on Cowboys to victory,

Cross (Opponent's) goal,

Then we'll sing.

Oklahoma State!

Ride 'em Cowboys, ee-yah!

Ride 'em Cowboys, ee-yah!

Did you know that there are forty-seven former Oklahoma State University players who made it to the show? Send corrections to Baseball Almanac.
