College baseball officially began on July 1, 1859, in a game between Williams and Amherst in western Massachusetts. In a high-scoring contest, Amherst defeated Williams, 66-32. Within 10 years, the University of North Carolina, Villanova, Fordham and Dartmouth, among others, had formed varsity baseball teams and featured intercollegiate contests, some of them lopsided victories against much weaker teams and tough losses to professional clubs. But with the advent of NCAA championship play, schools were assigned division status, bringing greater parity at all levels of collegiate baseball. This work is the first to account for the complete history of each of the country's major, or Division I, baseball programs. Arranged alphabetically by school, entries include the team nickname and athletic logo; year-by-year listing of win-loss records and coaches; conference affiliations; major league alumni, complete with their birthplace, major league debut date and years played in college; other notables, such as major leaguers who attended the college or the program's players who achieved fame outside of baseball; and championships and other team and individual highlights.
