The Westminster College Blue Jays rose to prominence in the early
 1900s under the guidance of coaches Jim Pixlee and Brutus Hamilton.
 Coaching legends Henry "Hank" Iba and Tom Botts played collegiately
at Westminster, paving the way for major leaguers such as Fulton's
 own Arnold "Bake" McBride. A power in the Missouri College
 Athletic Union (MCAU) and National Association of Intercollegiate
 Athletics (NAIA), Westminster now competes on the Division III
 level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
