Started in 2017, the Cortland baseball program recognizes “Cortland Baseball Legends” to honor the standout members of the program’s highly successful and revered history. Those chosen each year are honored during the baseball alumni weekend in September. Selections are made by a committee led by Head Coach Joe Brown. Players who are selected must be graduates of the college and at least a two-year member of the team. Also, players must be at least five years removed from when they stopped playing. Non-players (coaches, etc.) are also eligible for selection (only major exceptions will be considered).
