Thanks Mark and Kevin....yeah I'm mystified no one has posted their tea infusers...Seriously though there must be a baseball one out there...I think I've seen some kind of victorian era baby rattle thing made of a silver baseball...or something like that can't recall exactly...

BTY...Renny Little the sports memorabilia curator at Harvard emailed me the second photo wasn't from the 1914 Harvard Yale game...SO...had to redo the page...substituted a photo of the cover of the program and photos and bios of the two captains...

Hi Carlton,
Thanks sending the information on the tea infuser along. Great picture of the Yale Bowl, which held 75,000 fans on that 1914 date. The other picture was taken in the Harvard Stadium, possibly either the 1913 or '15 H-Y games which were also Harvard wins.
