 This debut made Young the first Princeton baseball player to start a major league game at any position since Dave Sisler ( son of Hall of Famer George Sisler and brother of Dick Sisler ) gave up six earned runs in just over four innings on August 27 , 1961 in the second game of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers . The game also marked the first appearance in a major league game by a Princeton baseball player since Bob Tufts played his final game for the Kansas City Royals on May 6 , 1983 . Other Princeton baseball players who have recorded either 50 innings pitched or 130 at bats ( the requirements to qualify for Rookie of the Year ) in the major leagues are Moe Berg , Homer Hillebrand , King Lear , Dutch Meier , Dutch Sterrett , and Bobby Vaughn . Young has been joined in the major leagues by Princetonian Ross Ohlendorf who debuted for the New York Yankees on September 11 , 2007 . Another Princetonian , Tim Lahey , was on the Philadelphia Phillies roster from the team 's Opening Day on March 31 , 2008 until April 5 , 2008 without making an appearance .
