1999 College Baseball All-America Team

An All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each team position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American athletes", or simply "All-Americans". Although the honorees generally do not compete together as a unit, the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media. Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889.[1]

1999 All-Americans included 4x MLB All-Star Ben Sheets (left) and 2002 Cy Young Award winner Barry Zito (right).

The NCAA recognizes three different All-America selectors for the 1999 college baseball season: the American Baseball Coaches Association (since 1947), Baseball America (since 1981), and Collegiate Baseball (since 1991).[2]

gollark: Why is it *not* a programming language?
gollark: What about Redox?
gollark: Rust can bind to those too, even Haskell can.
gollark: I'm also not very *good* at it, so the only thing I used it for was my 100-line-or-so music player thing.
gollark: Well, it has a nice type system, is fast, supports parallelism well, has the cool ownership thing for memory safety, and has good libraries.
