Playing one sport at Harvard is difficult. Playing two is almost unheard of.

Sporting various baseball caps, six Harvard professors showed off the lighter side of the General Education Program Tuesday night by presenting different academic aspects of baseball.

At Harvard, any student has to put in the maximum level of effort in order to get A’s.

In 2009, after throwing 55 innings in the Cape Cod League over the summer, Max Perlman returned to Harvard with his repaired elbow well-tested. He was ready to retake his spot atop the Crimson’s rotation as the team’s ace.

But despite strengths in its lineup and a change in NCAA bat regulations that favored the Crimson’s hitting style, scoring ruts and inconsistencies plagued Harvard throughout the year.

Trying to balance the demands of a Division I college sports team and a top-tier academic university can understandably become difficult. But some individuals take this time-crunch to a whole new level by participating in not just one, but two varsity sports—and often excelling at both.

Two generations down from a strong tradition of baseball, it’s the honor of playing, and not the honors from play, which continues to motivate Jordan Haviland.

Quite possibly one of the greatest athletes to grace the Harvard football and baseball fields, Orville Frantz was one of the most likable and most controversial figures in history to play for the Crimson.
