Yesterday Terry Cannon, Executive Director of the
Baseball Reliquary, posted a photo of an early Cal Tech baseball team on the
facebook page of the Institute for Baseball Studies.
At the time of posting it wasn't clear to me when that photo was taken. I went off sleuthing for a bit and found
the answer on the Caltech Archives site.
Before I got there I did find some other photos of the team through the ages. I thought it might be fun to look at them one decade at a time.
From the
Caltech Campus Pubs site, I was able to download and search the yearbooks.
Not all years are represented, but here's what I could find of the varsity team for the Roaring Twenties. Interesting to see the change in uniforms.

Paul Lukas, of Uni-Watch.com has
a great story (and wonderful photos) of the 1956 Portland Beavers uniforms. I'm wondering if Caltech had the first beaver on a jersey.
Just so the Freshman teams don't feel neglected with straight hand-me-downs, here's a look at the Frosh Squads of the Twenties. Looking at their faces, I don't think that it was Roaring.

In the coming weeks I'll move ahead in time. Eventually, I'll look back at the teams of the teens.
