Cornell University's baseball team plays in the Lou Gehrig Division of the Ivy League. Three Cornell players have gone on to get more than 1,000 at-bats in the major leagues. They are Joe Birmingham, Phil Lewis, and Harry Taylor. Alva Bradley was an owner of the Cleveland Indians for 20 years.
Hall of Famer Hughie Jennings went to law school at Cornell, and served as assistant coach at the same time.
The first major leaguer out of Cornell was John Humphries, who was managed in 1883 by John Clapp, who was born and died in Ithaca, NY.
Frank Olin, a Cornell graduate, played in the majors before he graduated from Cornell, and then went on to be vastly successful in business as the founder and CEO of the Olin Corporation, now a Fortune 500 company.
