Nebraska established a baseball program in 1889, making it the school's oldest active varsity sport. The team was disjointed in its first decades, often disbanding for years at a time. The hiring of Tony Sharpe in 1947 brought stability but limited success – Sharpe and his successor [[John Sanders (baseball)|John Sanders]] combined to lead fifty-one seasons, making just three postseason appearances. [[Dave Van Horn]] was hired in 1998 and established a national power, culminating in Nebraska's first [[College World Series]] appearances in 2001 and 2002, a landmark moment for a state that has hosted the event since 1950.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theindependent.com/huskershq/big-finish/article_49e950f9-a922-5a4d-aa02-745a917fc8ab.html|title=Big Finish|author=Terry Douglass|work=[[Grand Island Independent]]|date=2 June 2001|accessdate=7 July 2019|location=[[Grand Island, Nebraska]]|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190706000740/https://www.theindependent.com/huskershq/big-finish/article_49e950f9-a922-5a4d-aa02-745a917fc8ab.html|archive-date=6 July 2019}}</ref> Assistant [[Mike Anderson (baseball coach)|Mike Anderson]] took over for Van Horn and led NU to its best-ever season, finishing 57–15 and reaching another College World Series in 2005.
