Description	Baseball was played by some cadets in 1863, according to army baseball historian Barrett Haight. A letter from a cadet to the New England Base Ballist, Nov. 26, 1868, says the cadets don't play much baseball, as they are too tired after classes and drill. The college didn't field a formal team until 1890.
