context_section_description: After the 2009 season, the Vermont baseball program, which played at Centennial Field, was cut along with softball as a part of the university's budget cuts. Prior to the cuts of 2009, Vermont baseball was the winningest program at UVM with a .532 winning percentage (1485-1306).
  Ten Vermont baseball players reached the major leagues, including Larry Gardner, who started at third base for four World Series champions in his 17-year (1908–24) big league career, lefthanded pitcher Ray Collins, who won 87 games in seven MLB seasons and started the first World Series game ever played at Fenway Park, and Kirk McCaskill, who won 110 games during his Major League career.
