MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Wesleyan Baseball set an attendance record on Sunday, as some estimates put upwards of 1,000 people attending at least part of Sunday’s doubleheader against MIT. Live music and bizarrely costumed people were both featured at what at times seemed more like a festival than a baseball game. Asked about the surge in attendance, Nina Foofaraw ’08 said that baseball had always been a popular spectator sport at Wesleyan. “I mean, we all love bases, right?” Foofaraw said. “When they get a hit, it’s like everyone gets a hit…hit…oh God.” Foofaraw then began convulsing in laughter.

Prefrosh J. Wellington Van Buren was impressed by the turnout. “It’s really impressive that this many [unintelligible] the submarine got tuberculosis in Spain.”

Nick Popinjay ’09, who got a total of four hits during the two games, including two doubles, appreciated the impressive show of support. “We’ll take all the fans we can get, even if they don’t even know what sport they’re watching. Frankly, I’m just pissed that no one saved shit for me.”
