If it can be said that this year was a season of opportunity for Dartmouth baseball — as I wrote in the preseason round up so many weeks ago — then this weekend is the culmination of that opportunity, the chance to swipe the Ivy League crown from the two-time reigning champ Columbia University in the Lions’ own den.

Whether or not the Big Green can is a question that the team has already answered.

This act, Ramtin noted, is this student’s way of expressing that there is diversity on campus.
