University of Maryland Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"The Kentucky Wildcats faced a very strong and determined club in the Maryland Ole Liners, who had a fine sharpshooter, named (Boze) Berger, and the slickest passing gentleman we have seen in many days in a heavy-set chap named Radice. Mr. Radice was somewhat of a magician. He would look one way and pass another. And his passes were like Dazzy Vance's speed ball."- Atlanta Columnist Morgan Blake
