In the way of counter-argument, I present the idyllic settings of ballparks, the tactical nuance that goes into every strategic decision, and the unmatched tension of a ninth-inning nail-biter. Sadly, all of these elements were absent from Harvard’s Sunday doubleheader with Columbia. The vista beyond the fences of O’Donnell Field is nothing to marvel at.
