Senior class features several sports standouts

By Ben Zimmerman | June 13, 2004

There are those who claim that Ivy Leaguers are not athletic. Weighed down by pocket protectors and blinded by the bad eyesight that necessitates those three-inch thick glasses, students in the Ancient Eight are best suited to write haikus, play with their TI-89s and go to bed before 8:30 p.m. Clearly, these people -- if in fact they do exist -- do not know much about Big Green sports.

WEB UPDATE

By Steven Orbuch | June 8, 2004

A senior infielder became the highest drafted Big Green baseball player in the 15-year tenure of head coach Bob Whalen at this year's Major League Baseball amateur draft held on Monday and Tuesday. Shortstop Edward Lucas '04 was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the eighth round, with the 235th pick overall. "Its nice to go to an organization that puts a premium on developing players through the draft system," Lucas said. In total, approximately 1,500 players were taken over the course of 50 rounds. Lucas was the fourth Ivy League player selected in the draft, following a pair of prospects from perennial Dartmouth rival and 2004 Ivy League baseball champions Princeton University, and a Columbia University centerfielder. Princeton centerfielder Brandon Szymanski, drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the second round with the 48th pick overall, was the first Ivy League player chosen in the draft. Teammate pitcher Curtis Ohlendorg followed in the fourth round, selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks with the 116th pick overall. With the 195th pick overall and the fourth pick in the seventh round, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays chose Columbia centerfielder Fernandez.

Baseball's early season surprises begin to pan out

By David Zylberberg | May 25, 2004

Around now, the awful stats dismissed as "slumps" in April take on a worrisome import. After all, it's a quarter of the way into the season, and the freakish stats of April (remember when Barry Bonds was hitting .500?) have regressed to reality. But even now, luck still plays an enormous role in performance, particularly for pitchers.

Okafor and Howard vie for top pick in NBA Draft

By Stephen Macekura | May 20, 2004

With the deadline over for underclassmen to declare NBA draft eligibility, scouts from across the leagues will convene in the pre-draft camps and at individual workouts in the ensuing weeks to gauge the talent available. As underclassmen and high school players dominate the top of recent drafts -- two of the last three top choices, Lebron James and Kwame Brown, never played in college -- teams are relying less and less on experience and game-proven talent and more on potential, making the next month of scouting imperative for draft success. Here's a brief look at some of the top underclassmen available. Josh Childress, Stanford University, SF.
