UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS BASEBALL PLAYERS

MLB Players Who Played Collegiately at the University of New Orleans | Baseball Almanac

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive chart of every University of New Orleans (UNO) alumni who played baseball at the University of New Orleans AND made it to the Major League level.

"That would be beautiful, (being called up) but they're pretty loaded up with pitching, so it's probably not the best place for me to be. But if they were interested, I would certainly talk to the Cubs because that's probably one of my favorite places in the world — Wrigley Field. The Cubs fans are some of the best fans in all of sports. I really enjoyed my time there." - Bullinger, Jim. 31 January 2004.

UNO MLB Players \| Research by Baseball Almanac

The University of New Orleans baseball program started in 1969. Eric Rasmussen was the first former Privateer to make it to the Major League level.

The Privateers are a relatively new baseball team that has already had more major league players than hundreds of other universities. Perhaps they sing their fight song stronger than the other schools:

"Let's Hear It For UNO"

Let's give a cheer for old UNO,
Fling out her banner forward we go,
Come on U-N-O-! let's carry her colors silver and blue,
Shout out her praises true. U-N-O!
Our Privateers will march on to fame,
New Orleans glory they will proclaim,
So let that U-N-O spirit frighten our foe,
let's hear it for U-N-O!

Did you know that there were twelve former University of New Orleans ballplayers who made it to the majors? Send updates to Baseball Almanac.
