Baseball: George Sisler into College Baseball Hall of Fame

Former University of Michigan baseball great George Sisler (1913-15) will become the fourth Wolverine in the last three years enshrined into the College Baseball Hall of Fame, the College Baseball Foundation announced Thursday (Feb. 18). Sisler joins former U-M coach Branch Rickey (1910-13) and players Jim Abbott (1986-88) and Barry Larkin (1983-85) in the Hall. Hall of Fame inductees are chosen based on the votes of more than 110 representatives from coast to coast. Voters include retired and active coaches, media members and previous inductees. To be eligible for the College Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, players must have completed one year of competition at a two-year institution in the CCCAA or NJCAA or a four-year NCAA (Division I, II or III) or NAIA institution.
I did a special post on Sisler a few weeks back. For a background, you can read it HERE. He is probably the greatest player at his time Michigan ever had, even better than Abbott, Larkin, or any of the modern players.

I think I know alot about UM history and athletics, and I used to know alot about Baseball history, but I did not know George Sisler was a Wolverine. Thanks, FA (and MGoBlue).
