I can remember Arizona State that had Bonds, Oddibe McDowell and Mike Deveraux in the outfield.
The best team as pros was Mississipi State that one year had Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro, Bobby Thigpen (who also played OF, when not relief pitching), Jeff Brantley and Doug Dascenzo (who also was a starting pitcher). What is wild is that they LOST!
I can even remember seeing Roger Clemens for the first time pitching for Texas. That team also had future Boston teammate/World Series goat Calvin Schiraldi.

And I always get excited when my alma mater, the University of Texas, has a good team. They won the whole thing two years ago and came very close again last year. They've been ranked in the top 5 all of this year and were #1 for a while. When I was in school I would catch the shuttle over to Disch-Falk Field after class and spend the rest of the afternoon watching baseball (students got in free, but weekday games were very sparsely attended).

IU almost made it to Omaha a few years ago, but I know nothing about the club. The only two pros that I know played baseball at Indiana are Ted Kluzewski and Mickey Morandini. Indiana's baseball stadium is in an awkward place on campus, it is hidden behind a hill and huge dorm.
Klu was the hitting coach of the Big Red Machine and was an all american in football and baseball. There is a cool painting of him in Assembly Hall.
Cliff Gustafson the long time coach at Texas was cool. He looked like he should be a coach of a baseball team in Texas.

NYU has varsity baseball for the first time in 41 years. No home games until the last weekend of this month in Coney, as if it will stop snowing by then.

That play is kinda similar to the Cabrera/Bream walk off for the Braves against the Bucs in 92.

Florida and Auburn played a burner of a game last night. Auburn had a couple of great defensive plays and lost on an HR off the glove.
Check out video of the double steal of home Florida pulled off last night.
