Team provides aspiring athletes with competitive league after prep careers end
Junior Aaron Leong decided playing college baseball shouldn't require a scholarship - or the NCAA. After discovering that MSU didn't have a club baseball team, Leong, a finance major, contacted the National Club Baseball Association and an MSU adviser and arranged to have the Spartans added to the Great Lakes North Conference. "I still wanted to play baseball, like a lot of guys out here, because our careers basically end after high school, unless you go to a small school," he said. "This is another way for us to keep playing baseball." Leong started the MSU Baseball Club with some of his friends in September, passed out fliers and received permission to conduct tryouts at Kobs Field. "About 30 guys tried out and we currently have 17 players," said Leong, who now is the club's president.
