I know the players in bold played here. The others, the time frame is right for them to have played here. Let me know if you remember any of the other guys playing at Baum.

Anyone got any others? I know there are more, but it's tough to figure. Especially on non-conference teams.

Let me know if you're sure any of these guys played here.

Ryan Howard Philadelphia (SMS)

[Dale]

Of course that brings up the dreded Matt Cepicky of SMS. He's in the minors now, but spent part of each of the last three years with the Expos.

[Tschepihawg]

Another from the 1999 regional -- Khalil Greene, Padres (Clemson)

Did Tim Hudson (Auburn)?

Hudson was drafted in 1997 and the first game played in Baum Stadium was against Auburn in 1996, so the time frame fits. I don't know if he played though.

[Bearpower]

Bill Mueller? (SMS) When was Baum built?
Jason Hart (SMS) Rangers

[bearpower]

Oops sorry bill mueller was before 1996

[guest]

red sox second baseman mark bellhorn was the starting second baseman for auburn in the first game played at baum stadium

That's not correct. Bellhorn was playing minor league ball in 95. Plus, I have the boxscore for the first game at Baum:

Addition to the list:
Mike Fontenot (LSU) played a few games with the Cubs earlier this season.

[hog]

The pitcher from Auburn who was drafted in the first round from auburn in 2000. he's with the angels......just found it on their site chris bootcheck. I have seen him pitch in games. Also from UCLA in 99 Chase Utley, Garrett Atkins, think their might be one more maybe eric byrnes and Eric Valent

[Dale]

Thanks. Checked Byrnes and Valent. They don't fit.

UCLA
Garrett Atkins 1998 - 2000 Colorado Rockies
Chase Utley 1998 - 2000 Philadelphia Phillies

Long Beach State
Chad Bentz (Florida Marlins)
Jeremy Reed (Seattle Mariners)
Terrmel Sledge (Washington Nationals)

[hog]

bobby crosby lbsu

[Dale]

Yep, he fits.

[Dr. HeathHog]

I know Burke played in Baum because I got a UT ball signed by him. Of course you already had him in bold, but I thought I should brag.

[Dale]

Yeah, if anyone actually remembers any of the guys not already in bold ;D playing here I'd like to know it.
