Eric Stuckenschneider
Mules Baseball, 1990-94
Stuckenschneider was a key member of the Mules' 1994 NCAA Division II national championship team, starting every game in center field and earning first-team All-America recognition. A graduate of Fatima High School, he hit .435 with nine home runs and 56 RBI in that 1994 season. He was second on the team in hits with 94 and set a Division II record that still stands by scoring 103 runs.

After a promising freshman season in 1991, he was stricken with a rare blood disorder that caused him to miss the entire 1992 season. He recovered and received a medical hardship ruling that allowed him to play three more seasons. He finished his career ranked in the Mules' top 10 in runs scored (1st), stolen bases (tied for 3rd), hits (5th), RBI (9th) and home runs (tied for 9th). He is one of only three players in Mules' history to surpass 200 hits and 200 runs scored in his career. His career batting average was .348.

Following his CMSU career, he played six seasons in the minor leagues with the Oakland A's and Los Angeles Dodgers' organizations. He played most of the 1998 season at the Class Triple-A level with the Dodgers' top farm team at Albuquerque, N.M., and for part of the 1999 season he was on the A's 40-man major league roster.
