Tampa Bay Rays face Milwaukee Brewers featuring former McNeese players in World Series

The Tampa Bay Rays are set to compete in the Major League Baseball World Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, a team that features two former McNeese Cowboys, Grant Anderson and Jace Peterson, according to gator995.com and 965kvki.com.

Grant Anderson is a relief pitcher currently in the Brewers' bullpen, while Jace Peterson serves in a player development role for the team. Both have ties to McNeese baseball, which has a history of producing Major League players.

Grant Anderson played for McNeese from 2016 to 2018 before being drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 2018. Although he ended the regular season on the injured list, reports indicate he remains a potential option for the Brewers' World Series roster.

Jace Peterson had a 13-year Major League playing career and was a standout athlete at McNeese in both baseball and football. He now contributes to the Brewers' player development efforts.

McNeese baseball has a proud history of sending players to the Major Leagues, with 12 former Cowboys reaching the big leagues in program history. According to McNeese, it was the first time in school history that four former players reached the Major Leagues in the same season.
