The University of ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® Boulder played its first intercollegiate baseball game in the spring of 1890. ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® defeated the ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® School of Mines, 5-4, in Boulder. This photograph shows the ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® squad in 1894.

¾«Í¯ÓûÅ® baseball played its final game on May 6, 1980, a 15-4 loss to Northern ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ®. Five weeks later, the university eliminated varsity baseball and six other sports amid budget cuts and Title IX commitments.

In its 90-year history, ¾«Í¯ÓûÅ®-Boulder’s baseball team established a winning record of 819 victories, 614 losses and 5 ties — and sat for some delightful pictures.
