The sport of baseball was played at the intercollegiate level on and off during the 1880s to the 1900s. During the years when WPI didn't have a sponsored team there would be contests between classes.[1] Baseball was again introduced as a varsity sport in the spring of 1905 and has competed regularly since.[2]
