An unlikely source of talent for the Yankees

Select universities around the country are known for producing future major leaguers on a yearly basis. Princeton University is not one of these schools. This season, however, the Yankees boasted two alumni, David Hale and Mike Ford, from the Ivy League school on their opening day roster.

Princeton’s long time coach Scott Bradley is a former Yankee, and despite playing just 28 games as a Yankee is in the regular rotation for Old-Timers day. As a coach at Princeton, he has won seven Ivy League titles and over 400 games in 22 seasons.
