The Crimson recorded 13 hits to UC Irvine’s nine and held the Anteaters scoreless in all but two innings.The reason Harvard remained close was relief pitcher Max Warren.

This was most often true in cash-strapped start-ups in Silicon Valley. But the equity-for-all ethos spread. Fewer than a million people held options at the start of the '90s, but the number swelled to 12 million in 2001. It stands...
