Columbia Lions baseball

The team plays its home games at Robertson Field at Satow Stadium in New York City.

The most famous member of the Columbia baseball team was Lou Gehrig.

Gehrig drew attention for his record-breaking 400-foot home runs and, as a pitcher, his 17-game strikeout streak in 1923.

Gehrig signed with the Yankees in his sophomore year, leaving college for a lucrative paycheck, but remained a fan of Columbia sports for the remainder of his life.
