GM is back with Hoya athletics in this next installment of Old Georgetown in Color.
Specifically, this is the 1922 Georgetown baseball team. Apparently, this was the first sport played by GU students, with the first game played in 1866. Sadly, the team has pretty much never seen any big time success. Although the story goes that they were once called the Stonewalls and may have been the source for the Hoya Saxa cheer.
This is maybe not GM’s best effort, as it looks a little bit Turnerized, but you get the idea.
