New York University in the major leagues

New York University (New York, NY) has 12 alumni in the major league record. Doc Leitner (1887) and Bill Oster (1954) mark the earliest and latest debuts on the list. Eddie Yost played the most games of any alumnus, 2109. Among alumni with long careers at the plate, Kiddo Davis has the best average, .282. Rows with no batting line, such as Joe Bennett, are players who did not bat in the majors, most of them pitchers. More of the school's major leaguers debuted in the 1940s than in any other decade. Other schools in the same state with major league alumni include Niagara University, Onondaga Community College, and Rockland Community College. The school list is built from Lahman's record of where players played college baseball; a player who attended without playing may not appear.
