"So, I've done some painstaking research, and I've come up with a list of my own — the 15 most obscure baseball players of all time... 11. Stubby Magner, outfield:At the age of 33, this 5-foot-3, 135-pound rookie played 11 games for the Yankees in 1911 and hit seven singles." - Jonathan Comey in The Standard-Times (1999)

Cornell University's baseball program started in 1868 and John Humphries was their first player to make it to the Major League level. Names that appear on the chart above in bold print are in the Cornell University Hall of Fame.
Cornell University athletic teams are known as the Big Red and over the years their fight song has changed quite a bit:
Cornell Victorious by Hibbard Ayer (1914) |
From blue Cayuga, from hill and dell,
Far rings the story of the glory of Cornell.
From east and west the crashing echoes answ'ring call:
"Cornell victorious! The champions of all!"
Cheer! Cheer! Here we are again to cheer with all our might!
Cheer! Cheer! Here we are again to cheer for the Red and White!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Cornellian colors we'll defend!
Cornell, victorious to the end,
Will hear the echo of our cheer.
So, here we are, he we are again!
|
My Old Cornell by Will Dillon (1917) |
Oh, I want to go back to the old days,
Those good old days on the hill,
Back to my Cornell, for that's where they all yell Cornell, I yell Cornell.
Far above Cayuga's waters I hear those chiming bells.
I'm longing and yearning and always returning to my old Cornell.
|
New Cornell Fight Song by Marice Stith (1976) |
C-O-R-N-E-double-L,
Win the game and then ring a bell.
What's the big intrigue?
We're the best in the Ivy League. Rah! Rah! Rah!
Score the point that puts us ahead
Knock 'em dead Big Red!
1-2-3-4, who are we for?
Can't you tell?
Old Cornell,
GO RED!
