[goody1313]

Did they all play in the college World Series in Omaha?

Don't know about the college WS or going to the same college. They all did get drafted in the first round, but that's not what brings these guys together. The draft thing is very close, but look a little further.

2nd picks, not as obvious as first I suppose. I was looking at those draft lists and it's amazing how some of the picks work out. Especially how many players went before Mark McGuire. Anyways, I thought seconds would be the harder guess. I figured if I gave you the rest of the list, someone would get it.

Nice Job!
