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

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

"I accept my role whatever it is. Early in the year I was just pinch-hitting and I took it as an opportunity to help my career down the road. If you're known as a good pinch-hitter, you're valuable and they'll slip you in there whenever they can to give somebody a break. Then lately, the next thing I knew I'm in the lineup more. The hardest part is coming to the ballpark and not knowing if your name will be on the lineup. Last year, I knew every day I'd be in the lineup." - David Dellucci in the Baton Rouge Advocate (July 24, 1999)

University of Mississippi M.L.B. Player Alumnus

The University of Mississippi baseball program started in 1893 and Pete Shields was their first player to make it to the Major League level.

The University of Mississippi has a long and distinguished set of traditions. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present their Rebel Fight Song:

Ole Miss

Forward, Rebels, march to fame,
Hit that line and win this game
We know that you'll fight it through,
For your colors red and blue.
Rah, rah, rah!
Rebels you are the Southland's pride,
Take that ball and hit your stride,
Don't stop till the victory's won
for your Ole Miss.
Fight, fight for your Ole Miss!

Did you know that there are thirty-nine former University of Mississippi players who made it to the show? Send corrections to Baseball Almanac.
