Iowa State Cyclones baseball was formerly fielded by Iowa State University from 1892 until the conclusion of the 2001 season. Iowa State ceased to field a team because of what former Iowa State Athletic Director Bruce Van De Velde termed "budget cuts". This was announced on April 2, 2001. Iowa State's last game was a 17-4 loss to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Tournament on May 18, 2001.

Famous quotes containing the words iowa, state and/or baseball:
“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“It is almost never when a state of things is the most detestable that it is smashed, but when, beginning to improve, it permits men to breathe, to reflect, to communicate their thoughts with each other, and to gauge by what they already have the extent of their rights and their grievances. The weight, although less heavy, seems then all the more unbearable.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“Ethnic life in the United States has become a sort of contest like baseball in which the blacks are always the Chicago Cubs.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
