Although this event celebrates the university’s alumni, the name “Baylor” has a historical tie to the New York Yankees through former player and manager Don Baylor. In 1983, Don Baylor signed a four-year, $3.7 million contract to join the Yankees. A power hitter and former AL MVP, he played for the New York organization from 1983 to 1985.
Don Baylor’s career also intersected with the Atlanta Braves, where he served as a coach for one year in 1999 before being hired as the manager for the Chicago Cubs.
