Ivy baseball is a small world. We're making it easier to stay connected. A private, verified network for alumni across schools, cities, and industries.
Names and contact details stay inside. This is only the shape of the group.
Regions only, rounded so nobody is pinned to a town.
Nobody has to explain to you what an April doubleheader in the Northeast feels like, or why you kept showing up without a scholarship. The difficulty and uniqueness of the Ivy League baseball experience is something we'll remember forever.
Now we're all over, in banks, law firms, hospitals, front offices, and startups, and most of us are happy to pick up the phone for each other. The problem has always been finding each other. Rosters are spread across eight websites and only tell you who played, not where they ended up. Alumni lists die in someone's spreadsheet, and there's never been a way to see who's nearby.
It's a small group, and the shared experience behind it is what makes it worth keeping together.
This is one directory for all eight programs, with a map of where everyone is, profiles that show what guys do and how to reach out, and a feed for posts and gatherings.
To start, put information on your profile and indicate what guys can reach out to you about. Check the boxes you actually mean, because if you say guys can reach out about breaking into your industry, expect texts about breaking into your industry. Someone thinking about leaving banking for law school should be able to find you, see you made the same move, and know he can shoot you a text.
It isn't only for guys you knew. There's a baseline of respect for anyone who played in this conference, whether you shared a field with him or only saw his name on a roster, because you know exactly what it took. Being listed on the same site isn't the value. Reaching out is, and it's worth doing before you need something.
Lastly, spread the word. Send invites to guys who you played with and played against. This network becomes more effective if there are more of us on here.
Pick the one that's you
Step 1. Put in your email.
No passwords. We email a code instead, which works on locked-down work accounts.
Step 2. Check your email.
We sent a code to . Type it in below, on this screen.
It's fine to read it off your phone. It is good for an hour.
If it is not there within a minute, check your spam folder. The email contains a code, not a link.
Work email can be slow or block outside senders. A personal address usually arrives faster.
Last step
Alumni from your program are reviewing your application. This usually takes a few days.
You will receive an email once you are approved. You can also refresh this page at any time. Once you are approved, the directory opens here.
Nothing further is needed from you.
Your application was not approved. If that is a mistake, reply to the email you received and we will take another look.
Your membership is no longer active. If you think that's wrong, reply to the email you received.

Applicants are not asked to prove anything. That check is yours to make, and it is the only thing standing between this directory and a recruiter with a roster page open.
If you cannot reach him, leave it. Someone else from your program will recognise him.
End someone's access if he shouldn't be here. Removing a member takes him out of the directory immediately, and he can be let back in later.
Yours to change whenever
Plain version
Who runs this. The Ivy Baseball Alumni Association, built and maintained by alumni of the eight programs. Not affiliated with the Ivy League or any of the schools, and not endorsed by them. Nothing here is for sale and no data is sold.
What we store. What you type into your profile: your name, school, class year, position, jersey number, roster years, the city you live in, your job, and whatever contact details you choose to add. Plus your email address, which is how you sign in. Nothing else. No tracking pixels, no analytics on your browsing, no cookies beyond the one that keeps you signed in.
Who can see it. Only approved members, and only what your own visibility setting allows. You choose whether your contact details are visible to every member, to guys from your school only, or to nobody. Change it any time in your profile. The rest of your profile is visible to all approved members, which is the point of a directory.
Your city. Turned into approximate map coordinates using OpenStreetMap's public lookup. It places you in a city, not at an address. Leave the field blank if you'd rather not appear on the map at all.
Who it is never shared with. Anyone outside the network. It is not sold, rented, or handed to recruiters, sponsors, schools, or advertisers. This is the whole reason the approval gate exists.
Email. You get sign-in codes when you ask for one, and a notification if you're responsible for approving someone. Occasional group announcements. Nothing else, and no marketing.
Deleting your account. Below, one click, no questions. It removes your profile, your posts, your comments, your RSVPs and your sign-in, permanently and immediately. Anything you posted that others replied to disappears along with the replies.
Where it lives. The site is hosted by Netlify and the data sits in a Postgres database at Supabase, in the United States. Both are ordinary infrastructure providers who process it on our behalf.
Questions, or want your data removed. Reach out to John Quinlan, who runs the site. His contact info is on his profile in the directory. You can also delete your account yourself, right below, at any time.
