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

"Adam (Everett) was acquired by the Astros from the Boston Red Sox after the 1999 season and instantly became one the team's top prospects. What makes Adam stand out is his ability to field the ball. Officials in the Astros organization believe Adam can be an All-Star shortstop one day based solelyon his fielding." - Yahoo! Sports (2003)
