1870s Yale Baseball Team Albumen Photograph
"Base Ball Clubs" appear in Yale history books as early as 1859, and this exceptional quality 8" x 6" photo in exquisite archival frame shows 10 players, some of whom are posing with bats. The entire piece measures roughly 18" x 22" and provides a scintillating look at the early years of America's Pastime at the collegiate level. Late in the year 1879, the first intercollegiate baseball association was formed and Yale was one of the charter members, along with fellow Ivy League rivals Harvard, Princeton, Brown and Dartmouth.
