On Saturday night, ASU held an upscale celebration at the Tempe Mission Palms hotel to honor Sun Devil Baseball players to have moved on to the Major Leagues. The event was prompted last May former Arizona State outfielder Kole Calhoun stepped up to the plate for the Los Angeles Angels. This was significant to the stature of the program because Calhoun became the 100th Sun Devil to play Major League Baseball. Just three months later on August 11, infielder Jake Elmore became the 101st Devil in the Show after making his debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Thirty-four Sun Devil Major Leaguers participated in the $100 a seat dinner which was hosted by the ASU Alumni Association, the Sun Devil Club and ASU Baseball. It included a roundtable of former and current players who discussed the pride & tradition of Sun Devil Baseball. Each talked about what it means to be a member of a program that has earned 5 National Championships and sustained its status amongst the Nation’s best. 

ASU has sent 101 former players to Major League Baseball.

In light of the milestone, here’s a gallery of PRO BASEBALL CARDS for Sun Devils who are currently in the League and those that played as far back as 1960. DieHardDevil.com has partnered with Dave Smith of Cardboard Sun Devils to provide the most comprehensive collection of Baseball, Football & Basketball trading cards of former Sun Devils.
