Harvard University is not exactly renowned as a hot-bed of baseball talent. The sole graduate from there to make even 150 appearances in the majors over the last century, was first baseman Tony Lupien. His career ended in 1948. It may be one of the most renowned educational establishments in the world, open for almost four hundred years (laughs in British). However, it has never produced a baseball All-Star, and only four major-leaguers over the past thirty years. But there were three Harvardians this season, a number not surpassed since 1914. Tanner Anderson worked one game for the Pirates, and Brent Suter was a mainstay in the Brewers bullpen (but missed the playoffs with an oblique injury).
