Wow, that's just awesome! What a thrill for Skipper to have Mikey donate that! I bet that finds a very prominent wall in PC's office! Has Jacoby been an All-Star? Any other ex-Beavs? I am going to base what follows on what I think that I know. If someone has better information, please let me know: Oregon State's first All-Star was Ken Forsch, who was an All-Star for both the National League (1976 Astros) and the American League (1981 Angels). He is also the first Beaver to throw a no-hitter in MLB, on April 7, 1979 against the Braves. Jacoby Ellsbury was an All-Star in 2011, the first time for an Oregon State alum since 1981 and the first position player in Beaver history. Michael Conforto was an All-Star in 2017, the first position player named to the NL squad in Beaver history. Andrew Susac was named an Eastern League All-Star in 2013, while playing for AA Richmond. As far as I know, those are the only All-Stars in Oregon State history. I think you are correct. Although if you count minor league all-star teams, I sure there are a plethora of ex-Beavers. ie, 1995 California League - Jaime Burke.
