Klimkiewicz never complained about having to learn a new position after playing shortstop alongside Farkes at Cambridge’s BB&N, nor did he whine about having to do so while recovering from the ACL tear that had sidelined him the previous year. He simply battled through an early-season slump and recovered well enough to keep the Crimson in the league race, including knocking in all four Harvard runs in a backs-to-the-wall game two of the Ivy League championship series win that extended the season...
...League full of young pitching standouts, the Crimson could not match its offensive performance of a year ago, but two Rachels still had stellar seasons. Freshman third baseman Rachel Murray, who finished third on the team with a .297 batting average, earned second-team All-Ivy honors. Junior shortstop Rachel Goldberg, who led the team in home runs, earned the team’s most outstanding defensive player award and was an All-Ivy honorable mention selection...

After the rest of the Indians are retired, Sox superstar shortstop Nomar Garciaparra leads off the bottom of the inning with a homer to left-center. “Wow,” Topjian notes. “The first Sox player I see bat hits a home...

He must have outgrown the irony too--otherwise how could he describe with such tender eloquence a forgettable player, onetime New York Mets shortstop Tony Fernandez, taking batting practice, "laying each bunt down like a necktie on a bed." Hopping adroitly from decade to decade, backward and forward, Angell blows the dust off such near forgotten minor marvels as the switch-hitting Cleveland Indian Carlos Baerga crushing two home runs in the same inning from...
Mark Mager ’02 watched from the stands set in the hall behind the visitor’s dugout. The starting shortstop on last year’s Ivy League championship team, Mager knew all about such moments. Through two Ivy title seasons, he’s seen many of them. He spoke warmly, almost longingly about playing with a strong group of players, classmates for four years, and what a blast it had all been...
