History

The program's first year of competition was 1890. Thirteen players that played for Illinois State have made it to the MLB level, with the most recent being Paul DeJong of the St. Louis Cardinals.[2][3]

Stadium

Illinois State plays at Duffy Bass Field, a 1,000-seat (1,200, including non-seating areas) facility located in the northwest corner of the university's campus in Normal, IL. The facility is named for the school's winningest baseball coach in its history.[4]

gollark: I do agree that the borrow checker can be annoying, but at least you're more likely to get an application which works properly than with C(++).Most of the time higher-level languages are probably the answer anyway.
gollark: It'd need caching.
gollark: ```pythonfrom esolangs_programming_channel import ability_to_import_from_esolangs_programming_channel```Now you *have* to make it.
gollark: But with import-from-discord we could go a step further! Import your entire program with outsourcing!
