In the early 70's, when I was back on campus, Fordham claimed 70+/- alums that played for major league teams. The most of any school. This prompted HC to claim 90+/-. Mike Hegan was the most recent, a catcher who sign a contract after his frosh year. Memory is foggy but this may have been in the Crusader or T&G or both.

From the end of the story
The College of the Holy Cross baseball program started in 1843 and Tim Murnane was their first player to make it to the Major League level.
Did you know that there are seventy-six former College of the Holy Cross players who made it to the show?

Depending on who's doing the counting, Holy Cross has more than 76 players who played MLB. Here's the link to the Holy Cross list at Baseball-reference.com www.baseball-reference.com/schools/?key_school=ed57373bSome of the best known are Jimmy Ryan-- 2,500+ hits and a .308 average, mostly in 19th century Bill "Rough" Carrigan-- catcher and later player-manager for the Babe Ruth Red Sox Jack Barry-- member of Connie Mack's "$100,000 Infield", as Hoops noted above, and later a Ruth teammate on the Red Sox, so he won World Series with two teams. I wonder if he's the only man to play on a WS winner and to coach a team to the NCAA Championship? Joe Dugan-- 3rd baseman on the great Ruth (seeing a lot of him on this list) & Gehrig Murderers Row teams of the 1920's Rosy Ryan-- NY Giants pitcher, teammate of Casey Stengel on those great early 1920's Giants, who would have faced Joe Dugan in the World Series Owen "Ownie" Carroll--- Had an extraordinary college record at HC, clearly our greatest player ever, before posting a 64-90 record as a MLB pitcher in the 20's & 30's. He was with the Tigers when they were weak, before trades and player development put the great Cochrane-Gehringer-Greenberg-Goslin- Schoolboy Rowe teams together for the 34-35 pennants Jigger Statz--a storied name in HC history. See the link to his bio below. He was one of those great ballplayers (like Lefty O'Doul) who (by choice for most) played most of his career in the PCL which paid pretty good money. He had 4,000+ career base hits (along with Pete Rose and Ichiro Suzuki) in professional baseball. sabr.org/bioproj/person/ddd7d6e6Mike Hegan-- 1960's 1970's Yankee-Brewer-A who played in the WS with Mickey Mantle's Yankees and later with the great A's teams of the early 70's |

No. Ray Fisher was a pretty good pitcher for the 1919 Cincinnati Reds, who beat the Black Sox in the World Series (he started and lost Game 3). He also coached at Michigan for thirty-seven years and led the Wolverines to the College World Series championship in 1953, the year after Barry and Holy Cross won it. |
