Jerry Schoonmaker was the only player from that team to reach the major leagues

He signed with the Washington Senators for a bonus amount that
required him to be placed on the major league team immediately under the rules of that time. A severe eye injury suffered on an off-season job cut short his
career after the 1957 season.
He wasn't happy with his hitting at the College World Series, but it didn't stop the Tigers.
``Whenever we needed somebody to do something, somebody came in and did it,'' Schoonmaker said. (Columbia Daily Tribune, May 14, 1994)
