This is hardly the most scintillating photo gallery I’ve published here, but it’s one of those slices of life that I love so much. These come from my long hours spent searching eBay, and are reportedly of a 1948 college baseball game between Lehigh University and Cornell University.

Knowing next to nothing about college baseball or either school, I’m guessing this is a Cornell home game based on the preponderance of red in the stands. I would love to know the story behind that cool little train sitting off the third base line.
