Tar Heel Firsts: The first UNC alum to win a World Series
Posted Jul 22, 2019
Nine players from North Carolina had played in Major League Baseball before Mule Shirley came along in 1924. Pitcher Bob Lawson was the first way back in 1901. Moonlight Graham is the most famous Tar Heel of that era, albeit for reasons deeper than just his play on the field. However, Mule Shirley is the first former Tar Heel to have ever won a World Series.
