Minnesota Gophers Baseball: The 1922 Team #TBT

Gopher baseball has played every year for the last 94 years. The 1922 team had been reinstated after a 6 year hiatus, and had these cold ass uniforms.

The 1922 team has interested me for awhile now. They have these incredibly dank uniforms (look at those hats!), and the program came back from having been dead for 6 years. I've written previously why the Gophers dropped baseball in 1916.

In 1922 Minnesota hired Fred Luehring as it's first full time Athletic Director. Luehring campaigned to bring back Big Ten baseball, his argument was that students were enrolling to other schools instead of Minnesota because it lacked the sport.
