Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive chart of every Florida A&M University alumnus who played baseball at Florida A&M University AND made it to the Major League level.

"If you love the game, and you don't have a big ego, it's not a big transition (from managing to coaching). It's different, but it's just a matter of you like to be involved, like to be in uniform and like to deal with players." - Hal McRae in Baseball Digest (July 2005)
