I've worked at Harvard for many years and have assembled a collection of a lot of Harvard items from that era while working here, so I can help for the Harvard side of things with a couple of items in my office....
Here's an 1882 cabinet team photo of the Harvard varsity baseball team. Also, a scorecard for an 1882 game of the current varsity team against the Harvard 1877 team, returning for a reunion. Players can be seen here, including James Tyng (first to wear a catcher's mask) and Fred Thayer (came up with the mask concept with Tyng, and brother of Ernest Lawrence Thayer, author of 'Casey at the Bat').
