1961 College Baseball All-America Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of college baseball players named first team All-Americans for the 1961 NCAA University Division baseball season. From 1947 to 1963, the American Baseball Coaches Association was the only generally recognized All-America selector, so any player selected by the ABCA is considered a "consensus" All-American.
