Marines in Major League Baseball
Of the roughly 21,000 men to have played Major League Baseball, fewer than 100 are known to have also earned the title United States Marine.
This project celebrates the extraordinary intersection of two esteemed American institutions, honoring the men who served their country as Marines and took the field in the Major Leagues. Their service, sacrifice, and stories deserve to be remembered.

An asterisk identifies documented combat participation at some point during the individual’s service, not necessarily within the listed date range. The absence of an asterisk means combat participation has not been verified by the project’s current research; it does not definitively mean the individual did not experience combat.
