In 20 years, I’ve never managed to sit through an entire baseball game—but I’ll wake up at 5:30 a.m. to go watch crew races in the driving rain.Hear me out on this. Few teams on the Harvard campus win as often or as triumphantly as those that occupy the Newell and Weld Boathouses. The men’s and women’s programs have...
