College of the Canyons Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"After the game, one of the writers told me I was the first rookie to start a World Series game in almost 30 years (since Joe Black for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1952). That shows the kind of guts Dallas Green had as a manager. You'd have to say that was one of the more memorable games of my career, though I might not have realized it at the time. And it was my only World Series appearance in 14 years." - Bob Walk in The Game I'll Never Forget (Baseball Digest : March 1995)
