Baseball [ edit ]

Major leaguers pitcher Craig Breslow (Oakland A's and Boston Red Sox) and catcher Ryan Lavarnway (Boston Red Sox/Los Angeles Dodgers), among others, played baseball for the Bulldogs. Perhaps Yale's most notable baseball player, however, was future U.S. president George H. W. Bush, who played for the Bulldogs in the late 1940s. Breslow led the Ivy League with a 2.56 ERA in 2002.[3] Lavarnway led the NCAA in batting average (.467) and slugging percentage (.873) in 2007, set the Ivy League hitting-streak record (25), and through 2010 held the Ivy League record in career home runs (33).[4] In August 2012, Breslow and Lavarnway, playing for the Red Sox, became the first Yale grads to be Major League teammates since 1949.[5]

Men's basketball [ edit ]

The men's basketball team has been named national champion on six occasions – in 1896, 1897, 1899, and 1900 by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll, which began retroactive selections with the 1895–96 season; and in 1901 and 1903 by the Helms Athletic Foundation, which began retroactive selections with the 1900–01 season.[6] Penn and Yale played in the First College Basketball game with 5 men on a team in 1897. Yale has won seven Ivy League championships – 1957, 1962, 1963, 2002, 2016, 2019 and 2020. It also won the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, the forerunner to the Ivy League, eight times – 1902, 1903, 1907, 1915, 1917, 1923, 1933 and 1949.

Women's crew [ edit ]

In 1976, the nineteen members of the Yale women's crew wrote "TITLE IX" on their bodies and went into athletic director Joni Barnett's office and took off their clothes, and then rower Chris Ernst read a statement about the way they were being treated.[16][17] This protest was noted by newspapers around the world, including The New York Times.[17][16] By 1977, a women's locker room was added to Yale's boathouse.[18] (Previously, there was no bathroom available for the women's crew team, so they had to wait on the bus after practice while the men showered before they could return to campus.[19]) This protest was chronicled in the 1999 documentary A Hero For Daisy.[18][20]

Women's soccer [ edit ]

The Bulldogs women's soccer team won the NCAA College Cup in 2002, 2004 and 2005.[21] In 2005, the team won a school record 15 games.[21] That year it also won the first outright team Ivy League title in Yale history.[21] Former coach Rudy Meredith was indicted as part of the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal, for allegedly accepting bribes totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to facilitate the admission of students to Yale as soccer players recruited to the Yale women's soccer team, despite their never having played competitive soccer.[22] He pled guilty.[22] Because he is cooperating with prosecutors, he may avoid the maximum penalties of 20 years in prison and $250,000 fines each of the charges carry, but he will have to forfeit the $850,000 in bribes he took in the scheme.[22]
